Can you help us create a tool to assess the digital maturity and literacy of the sector?

Social Care Wales are working with Basis to explore options for a new tool to help us address the digital skills gap in social care across Wales.

We want people who work in social care in Wales to help us develop a way of assessing the current digital maturity and literacy of the sector.

‘Digital maturity and literacy’ means the ability and confidence of an organisation and its people to use technology effectively to deliver value.

The assessment is likely to be a set of questions that staff members in your organisation will answer to provide a better understanding of your organisation’s digital maturity and literacy levels.

Identifying and addressing gaps in the digital skills of the workforce can help lead to more effective services and better outcomes for people who use care and support.

How you can help
If you work in the social care sector in Wales, we’d love it if you could answer 9 questions to help us understand how we can develop a tool that works for you and your organisation.

This survey is anonymous. If you choose to join a pilot group (optional), we'll ask for more information about you, such as your name and contact details. This means that your response to the survey will no longer be anonymous.

All data will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and compliant with GDPR.

We won't share it with anyone outside the research team and it will be deleted at the end of this phase of the project (June 2024).

For more details or to withdraw your interest from the pilot group, email megan@basis.co.uk.
