Similar to previous years, an enhanced validation report (DQ report sent by the Adult Social Care Statistics team) will be issued following the first submission window, with as quick a turnaround as possible.
We have the facility for two named submitters to be listed on the Strategic Data Collections Service (SDCS) system for each local authority. Please send an e-mail to the Data Collections Team [email protected] with details of a back-up person and state it is for the SALT collection.
Other documents for the 2023-24 collection (dummy template not for completion, guidance and FAQs) are available on our social care collections webpage
Submitters must use the latest 2023-24 template for their collection data (downloadable from SDCS), this is the only version that will be accepted by the system.
