Digital Maturity & Literacy Assessment for Social Care in Wales

Description

****CONTRACT AWARD**** Assessing the digital maturity of social care services will help identify where there are issues of inclusion and lack of skills, and therefore how Social Care Wales can successfully work with partners to plan support for social care organisations and their workforces across Wales. The digital maturity assessment will also inform Social Care Wales’s work to support innovation and workforce development. A digital maturity assessment has already been conducted for health boards in Wales, but there is currently no equivalent for social care. The social care landscape is much more fragmented than that of health in Wales with services and support delivered by several thousand different organisations and providers in the statutory, private and voluntary sector. The work will be carried out in two phases: Phase 1 - Discovery Phase 2 - Design and delivery The overarching aims of the project are to: - Identify opportunities to develop digital and technology skills and confidence within social care in Wales - Facilitate resource planning and policy development - Enhance digital innovation in social care
