Take a virtual tour of the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS)

Online

Have you ever wondered what’s involved in using the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set? Join us to see first-hand the tools and benefits that your organisation could be missing out on! This session is designed to give social care providers who do not yet have an ASC-WDS account a demonstration of how the service works. Care providers who already use ASC-WDS may wish to join to be reminded of how they can make the most of their account.  20,000 care providers already use ASC-WDS and can access a range of benefits including: Eligibility for funding opportunities. Record information about your staff. Manage your training records. Define mandatory training for each role. Receive alerts when training is expired or expiring soon. Benchmark your service against similar providers. Access discounts and offers from Skills for Care and endorsed training providers. Allow us to create vital intelligence which is used by sector stakeholders and decision makers. This webinar will be run on Zoom.
