The Centre for Social Care and Artificial Intelligence Learning (SCALE) launched in April 2025 with £1.8m of catalytic funding from Health and Care Research Wales over the next 5 years. 
 
Increasing demand and cuts in funding for social care are posing significant challenges to the sector.  
 
Our mission is to exploit the potential of Artificial Intelligence to address these challenges and build smarter, more agile and more effective social care services that are humanist, transparent, equitable, and grounded in lived experience. 

SCALE connects research experts from social care and computer science with social care professionals and communities, exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence across all areas of Children’s and Adult Social Care. 
 
Our initial focus is on: 
- supporting the social care workforce and leadership 
- supporting adults, children, carers, and families 
- analysing data in new and interesting ways
