Government has launched a new data services to enable care providers to view, explore and download adult social care data:

• check data on registered care homes and home care providers
• view statistics on unpaid carers
• explore local authority funding data
• see population needs by population size, age, health indicators, disability and economic factors

This data helps ASC providers and local authorities understand local demand, track trends and support planning and commissioning.

You can only use this service if you are the Nominated Individual or Registered Manager for a CQC registered care provider organisation, or are a Local Authority officer.

You need a GOV.UK One Login to sign in to this service, and it must be tied to your CQC registered email address or your gov.uk email address.
