Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This dataset shows the number of adults receiving care and support with care and support plans on 31 March and whether the adult has caring responsibilities. A carer is someone who provides or intends to provide care for an adult or disabled child. The Adults receiving care and support census (ARCS) is based on the definition of eligible adults who have care and support, i.e. adults (aged 18 or over) who have a care and support plan. The ARCS was developed with local authorities and other key stakeholders in 2022. Data here is broken down by various demographic characteristics and provides an insight into the profile of adults receiving care and support at both local authority and national level.
- Data collection or calculation
The ARCS is an individual level data collection submitted electronically by local authorities on an annual basis to Welsh Government, covering a financial year’s worth of data. The collection is split into two sections: Section 1, Core Details, is completed for all adults who have had a care and support plan at any point in the financial year; Section 2, Care and Support Details, is only completed for those with a care and support plan on 31 March. Detailed guidance can be found on the local authority social services data collection page. The data has been validated via the use of internal quality assurance processes and through engagement with the data providers (local authorities) to address data quality issues. The dataset is aggregated to provide counts for different combinations of demographic characteristics, with totals for each demographic category also included.
- Statistical quality
2023-24 financial year was the first year of data collection for the Adults receiving care and support census. The number of adults with a care and support plan on 31 March 2024 does not match with AD/012a the number of adults with a care and support plan from the Social Services Performance and Improvement Framework dataset due to some local authorities including different populations.
