Who can see our data?

Your ASC-WDS data can only be seen by:

  • users that have been added to your account by your organisation
  • a few Skills for Care business support staff, responsible for helping workplaces and maintaining ASC-WDS
  • a few of Skills for Care's third party IT staff, responsible for system development, support and management

In some cases, where your organisation gives consent, we’ll share your data with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to supplement similar data the CQC is collecting. Individuals cannot be identified from this shared data.

We will not pass any of your personal details to other third parties without your consent, unless there are exceptional circumstances under which we are legally obliged to do so.
