About us

We are Skills for Care’s Workforce Intelligence Team, the experts in adult social care workforce insight.

Skills for Care, as the leading source of adult social care workforce intelligence, helps to create a better-led, skilled and valued adult social care workforce. We provide practical tools and support to help adult social care organisations in England recruit, retain, develop and lead their workforce. We work with employers and related services to ensure dignity and respect are at the heart of service delivery.

We’re commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to collect data on adult social care providers and their workforce via the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (previously named National Minimum Data Set for Social Care). For over 15 years we’ve turned this data into intelligence and insight that's relied upon by the Government and across our sector.
