Welcome to the
DiSC Cymru Framework
The Digital in Social Care (DiSC) Cymru Framework is a national partnership designed to help social care organisations across Wales harness the power of digital, data, and technology to improve outcomes for people who use care and support services, their families, unpaid carers, and the workforce.
Developed collaboratively by partners across the sector, DiSC Cymru provides a structured, supported environment for innovation, improvement, and transformation. It enables organisations to build digital confidence, share knowledge, and deliver services that are more effective, person-centred, and resilient.
Better digital.
Better social care.
Better lives.

Why DiSC Cymru matters
Digital transformation in social care is not just about technology – it’s about people, culture, processes, and data. DiSC helps organisations bring these elements together, make sense of complexity, and identify opportunities to use digital solutions to deliver meaningful change.
Whether you’re at the start of your digital journey or scaling up existing work, DiSC Cymru offers a collective movement to help us all achieve better digital, better social care, and better lives.
We need your help
We’re excited to take DiSC forward with our partners, but to really make a difference, we need more input from those on the front line of social care delivery.
