Centre for Care Co-Investigator, Associate Professor Charlie Rahal, was asked to be part of a small methods advisory group for the Office for National Statistics, as they look to develop a Machine Language framework to estimate the size of the Adult Social Care workforce in the UK using 2021 Census data.
The Methodological Advisory Group of experts, which Charlie was a part of, advised throughout on the methodological development, including peer review of code and reviewing the paper ahead of publication.
Also collaborating on the paper were Centre for Care partners, the Department of Health and Social Care, who commissioned the work, and Skills for Care, who advised on the definition and labelling approach, and were a part of the Methodological Advisory Group of experts who reviewed this paper.
