原味视频鈥檚 鈥楳aking a difference with data鈥� campaign showcases the impact of data on social care
Dave Griffiths, Programme Head 鈥� Analysis at 原味视频, introduces our latest campaign, which focuses on the importance of data to the adult social care sector.
原味视频 is dedicating this October to highlighting how data shapes policy and supports positive change in adult social care.
Our ‘Making a difference with data’ campaign will focus on the vital nature of data to our sector, why it’s important to maintain high quality data and how employers can contribute their data by using the .
ASC-WDS is the most complete and extensive source of data about the adult social care sector workforce in England and is used by the Government and other key stakeholders to make important decisions that shape the future for our sector.
The service also allows employers to safely store their staff records to support with activities such as workforce planning and managing training, as well as to benchmark their organisation against other similar organisations for key workforce metrics.
We’ll also be using this campaign to promote our annual ‘State of the adult social care sector and workforce in England report’, which uses the data submitted by the 20,000+ organisations who use ASC-WDS.
This campaign will run throughout October and will include resources, case studies and insight on how employers are using ASC-WDS to benefit their organisation, how they ensure they’re submitting and maintaining high quality data and how this data is used to make better decisions for our sector.
The campaign will run across our website, social media, and other communications channels. You can follow the campaign and join in on social media using #DataDrivesChange.
Dave said:
Our workforce data is used across the sector- for policy and decision making in government, in parliamentary debate, by CQC, academics, trade associations and local authorities. It provides the evidence base for driving change for people who work in social care and the people who draw on care and support. The upcoming #DataDrivesChange campaign will demonstrate the impact of our data and highlight the benefits of using the ASC-WDS service to care providers.
As we get ready to publish our 2023/24 'State of the adult social care sector and workforce in England' report, we want to give a huge 鈥榯hank you鈥� to all the organisations using ASC-WDS. It鈥檚 their data that makes this valued and impactful sector report possible.
Over 20,000 care providers already use ASC-WDS to help their business and the sector. I鈥檇 encourage all care providers to look at what ASC-WDS can do for them. It鈥檚 free to access and thousands of care providers use it in their work and to help them claim funding for staff training.
More information on the campaign and how to get involved can be found on our hub page.
