Data and insight

Our data and insight

As the regulator we have an important and informed viewpoint, drawing on our data, our research, our engagement, and our experience. Sharing data and insight we hold about the social work profession and our regulation helps us to support leaders and policy makers to drive change, and ensure our processes are safe and fair.​ 

We have shared reports below on data and insight on our fitness to practise referrals and outcomes, registration data and our initial analysis of diversity data within our fitness to practise process.
