The Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS)
The Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS) is an online data collection service that covers the adult social care workforce in England. It was previously known as the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC). It's the leading source of workforce information for the whole adult social care sector. Social care employers open accounts and enter worker information into the ASC-WDS. Users can download key reports and access a data visualisation tool. Councils can analyse the adult social care workforce at local authority level.
