NMDS-SC reports

If you are a social care provider registered with the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC) there are a number of personal reports that you can access when you are logged-in to your account. 

These reports will help you make decisions about the future success of your business. The reports can help you compare your business against competitors, identify staff training needs and review possible factors affecting staff retention.

To ensure that you get the most out of your reports it is important that you keep your NMDS-SC information up to date. You can do this at www.nmds-sc-online.org.uk

What NMDS-SC reports are available?

My Establishment Report - This report gives each responding establishment a profile of its own establishment and workforce, compared with similar establishments in their region. The report shows establishment level data and comparator data on vacancy rates, turnover rates, qualification levels, pay rates, worker demographics and more. The profile can be used to answer questions such as:

• 'How do my pay rates for Care Workers compare to those found in other local Care Homes?'
• Is my turnover rate typical for my type of establishment in this area?
• 'How does the average age of my workforce compare with that of my competitors?'

My Training and Qualifications Report - This report provides detailed analysis of your worker's qualification data by using key variables including job role, age, gender, ethnicity and employment status and aims to help you understand your own workforce and staff training needs. The report also includes links to the CQC's Essential Standards of Quality and Safety and Skills for Care's advice on meeting CQC regulations to help you fulfil your responsibilities.

My Worker List - this report provides a list of all the workers for whom you have provided information. Full details of individual workers can be viewed and then printed off, making it easy to identify their qualification levels and discuss future development plans.

Parent Organisation Report - this report allows establishments designated to be 'parent' establishments to see key information on the number of 'children' or subsidiary establishments it has within the NMDS-SC. Parent establishments tend to be head offices, regional offices or a local authority. The Parent Organisation Report is similar to the Establishment Report, but shows aggregated data for all 'children', therefore providing an organisational level view of the workforce. The report also provides tables that allow a parent establishment to quickly compare its subsidiary establishments on a range of key variables and as a basis to assist in your workforce development planning to improve the service that your business provides.

Workforce Development Fund (WDF) requirements report - This report is for individual establishments which identifies whether the establishment meets the NMDS-SC requirements for claiming the Workforce Development Fund. For more information on Skills for Care's funding visit www.skillsforcare.org.uk/wdf.
