Workforce estimates
To support our workforce intelligence publications, we have published an adult social care workforce estimates file that contains the data that sits behind them. The file is updated annually and provides information about the characteristics of the adult social care workforce at an England and regional level.
How the estimates are created
Overview of our methodology
- We use data collected by the ASC-WDS to create workforce models that, in turn, allow for estimates of the whole adult social care workforce to be produced.
- Our methodology allows the analysis to be representative of all adult social care workers, even if the ASC-WDS has uneven levels of data coverage.
- All data is validated at source and has been through rigorous data quality checks before analysis.
- 性事吧.com has confidence in the quality of these estimates; the methodologies used have been peer reviewed by universities and an independent statistician.
Details of the methodology can be found here.
