Unlock the Benefits of the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set
The Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS) is a free online data collection service that provides essential insights into the adult social care workforce across England.
If you're part of the adult social care sector, contributing to this valuable tool can not only give you a voice in shaping future policy but also help improve the quality-of-care services across Sheffield.
Why the ASC-WDS is important
Every day, countless decisions are made that impact how adult social care is delivered. From allocating future funding to implementing organisational changes, the data collected from the ASC-WDS plays a crucial role in informing these decisions. By contributing, you ensure that our local workforce priorities are well understood and factored into these decisions.
But the benefits go far beyond just data collection. Participating in ASC-WDS can also support your Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections by providing evidence on staffing, training, and other key areas.
Benefits of completing the ASC-WDS
The ASC-WDS offers a range of features designed to enhance the management and development of your workforce, including:
- Access to funding - unlock funding opportunities for staff training and development

“The benchmarking function is great for discussing aims and objectives for managers and their service, such as monitoring and improving staff turnover, management of staff absence, or increasing the percentage of staff with qualifications relevant to their role”
