The Care Quality Commission (CQC) use the data as part of their overall suite of intelligence about adult social care providers and the wider sector.
Local authorities would like access to your data to help them monitor where they've made ASC-WDS a condition of contract.
Having access to care provider data allows local authorities to plan the sector by area. It helps them to tackle recruitment issues and to understand the types of training needed by care providers.
The CQC and local authorities cannot identify workers from the data that is shared with them.
