NMDS-SC Briefing Issue 10 – Adults with learning disabilities
|
This edition of NMDS-SC Briefings focuses on the care-providing establishments and the care workforce who work with adults (aged 18 to 64), particularly adults with learning disabilities.
The NMDS-SC shows that the workforce working with adults with learning disabilities has a different profile to much of the workforce on whom data is held in the NMDS-SC overall. This workforce has more men, better pay and is more likely to hold relevant qualifications. The care-providing establishments are more likely to be from the voluntary sector, to be very small establishments, have lower turnover rates and are more likely to provide care for this service user group alone.
