Why is it important to keep our data up-to-date and accurate?
Your anonymised data is used across government and the sector. Having up-to-date data allows Skills for Care to provide insight on workforce issues affecting the sector, like staff vacancy levels. Your data helps answer questions in parliament and to inform DHSC policymaking.
It’s also easier to keep your account up to date with small changes as they happen. And it means you’ll have up-to-date data to share with CQC and others.
