¹ú²úÂÒÂ× is showcasing the important impact which data has in making decisions and shaping policy for social care with our latest campaign ‘Making a difference with data #DataDrivesChange’.
The campaign aims to highlight how social care employers can help to drive change for the sector by sharing their data through the
It comes as we prepare to launch our annual ‘State of the adult social care sector and workforce in England report’ which is only made possible by the data submitted from over 20,000 adult social care organisation who use ASC-WDS.
ASC-WDS is one of the most comprehensive sources of data about the adult social care sector and workforce. It’s used by the Government and other key stakeholders to make important decisions and shape policy for the social care sector.
The service also allows employers to safely store their staff records to support with activities such as workforce planning, recruitment, and training, as well as to benchmark their organisation against other similar organisations for key workforce metrics.
Running through October, the campaign will include resources and information about how employers can use ASC-WDS to benefit their organisation and contribute to important decisions and discussions about the social care sector. It will also include case studies from employers who are already using ASC-WDS to benefit their organisation.
The campaign will run across our website, social media, and other communications channels.

Comprehensive and accurate data about the adult social care sector and workforce is vital in supporting decision makers to shape policy.
