National Minimum Data Set - Social Care (NMDS - SC)

NMDS – SC

The NMDS-SC is the sector's first attempt at gathering valuable data about its workforce; data which will, in turn, help with workforce planning:

The benefits to the sector are:

• A unique Establishment Profile provides a summary of the NMDS-SC information benchmarked against data derived from similar establishments in their region. The profiles contain information on workforce demographics, occupational structure, pay levels and qualification levels.
• Quality Assurance
• Information to assist the development of the Personalisation Agenda
• Staff development or business development funding
• Plan business activity to determine the skills base needed now and in the future
• Provides an electronic staff record system to employers who do not have one
• Enables informed business decisions
• Contributes to Investors in People
• Full download facility to AQAA workforce appendix
