Keeping your NMDS-SC updatedbenefits your organisation and the sector
The Department of Health and the NHS Information Centre - this informs decision making around funding, resources and policies that impact upon the sector. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) - NMDS-SC provides information directly to them to reduce the burden on employers. This only applies to employers who give permissions for this data transfer. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) - provides evidence on how important overseas workers are to the social care sector. Local authorities - NMDS-SC will help them gain a clearer understanding of the workforce in their local area helping them develop their Integrated Local Area Workforce Strategies and meet the Putting People First milestones
•Enables you to benchmark against other similar organisations
•Aids workforce planning
•Tool to identify training needs
•Reduce CQC paperwork (remember you have to agree to share your information with CQC)
