The SC-WRES was developed by Skills for Care as a tool to identify issues and measure improvements in the workforce with respect to the experiences of people from a Black, Asian and minority ethnic background.

SC-WRES comprises of nine measurable metrics/benchmarks to examine disparities in race equalities. It’s a process that organisations can use to address evidence and make progress towards race equality.

How you can get involved

SC-WRES has been piloted by 18 trailblazing local authorities and we’re now inviting more local authorities to become involved during the next data collection running from 1 September 2023 to mid-October 2023.

Join us for a virtual information session on Thursday 20 July at 14:00 where we’ll give an overview on:

what SC-WRES is
why it’s important
the data collection process
next steps and questions.

If you’re unable to attend and still keen to get involved or for more information, please contact equalityandrights@skillsforcare.org.uk
