Beyond the wealth of information already available publicly on our website you can commission the services of the Workforce Intelligence team to produce bespoke reports and analysis for your organisation or area.

We have over 15 years of experience in analysing and interpreting social care data - it's what we do

How we can help you

Detailed geographic analysis

Detailed analysis of the data by alternative geographical areas. We can split our analysis into any defined geography, by postcodes or via a map.

Deep Dive analysis

Detailed analysis of the data about a particular job role, service or variable. For example, domiciliary care, social workers or retention.

Improving your staff retention

For employers, we can benchmark your performance on key metrics against other service providers in your area. Using data from the ASC-WDS we can see what employers with good retention rates do and then provide tailored recommendations to help you improve.

Data solutions to enhance a product or service

We can provide bespoke analysis or feeds of data to enhance or improve a product or service that you manage. For example, we can provide pay data to improve the accuracy of a tool designed to calculate the cost of care.

ASC-WDS data files and support

ASC-WDS raw analysis files, going back to 2012, are available on request via a data sharing agreement. We also offer support to help you understand the files, get the most out of the data, quality filters, problem solving and checking of outputs.
