Skills for Care Deep Dive survey
As you may remember, the significant workforce pressures across adult social care in recent years led the Eastern Region’s Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) to commission Skills for Care’s (SFC) Workforce Intelligence Team in 2022. The aim of this was to enhance understanding of those pressures and identify the right support for our Social Care Providers. This work is recommencing in 2025.
The data is drawn from Skills for Care’s Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS), supplied by providers like yourselves and the region’s local authorities. This establishes an understanding of the situation both locally and regionally for Councils, ADASS and other supporting stakeholders. SFC now want to capture important information from provider and staff perspectives for the analysis work to ensure they have a complete picture.
The information is in the form of two surveys that should take around 5 minutes each to complete. Both surveys will provide vital evidence that will be used to support recruitment, retention, and other necessary changes.
The first survey is for providers to help understand the key issues, what has worked, and what commissioning practice changes could help. If you have your ASC-WDS ID, this can be entered into Q1 of this survey.
The second survey is for members of your staff to complete and will be fully anonymised. This will help to understand ‘working in the sector’ from a staff perspective. Here is the link to this survey:
Both surveys will close on Friday 4 July 2025.
