CARE PROVIDERS AND EMPLOYERS

We work with large and small employers to create and deliver training and learning to meet their organisational needs. We pride ourselves on our flexibility in terms of both delivery and costs. You can talk to us to explain what you need and we will can make it happen!

We encourage health and social care providers to make use of the 

Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set and Workforce Development Fund (WDF). 

The Adult Social Care (ASC) Workforce Data Set is an online data collection service and the leading source of workforce information for the adult social care sector in England. The ASC-WDS requires care settings to create an account and input data.

An establishment’s ASC-WDS account is expected to be an accurate reflection of its workforce. The government, the Department of Health and Social Care, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), local authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and other sector stakeholders all need access to high quality adult social care workforce information. The ASC-WDS is where they come to get it.

It’s in the interests of all care providers to ensure the government and local authorities are making decisions using the best possible evidence base. There are over 20,000 care locations in the ASC-WDS providing data on over 700,000 care staff.

These providers see the need to provide that evidence. In doing so they open a range of benefits to their own organisation, including being able to access money for qualifications and learning programmes through the Workforce Development Funding (WDF).

We can guide and support employers through the initial set up and then on-going management of their account. This account also creates useful records for care settings and reduces administration tasks. It generates a live training matrix and easily accessible data for analysis of your own staff team.
