CareWorks Integration

Integrate CareWorks systems with your wider local authority and partner platforms using 6B’s secure, scalable, and standards-aligned integration services. We help councils improve data quality, streamline social care workflows, and strengthen multi-agency collaboration by connecting CareWorks to key systems across adults’, children’s, and community services.

Get in touch

Working with local authorities, service transformation teams, and multi-disciplinary practitioners, 6B delivers end-to-end integration for CareWorks case management environments. We support connections to finance systems, provider portals, health platforms, education services, housing systems, and corporate data platforms, ensuring information flows smoothly and safely across your organisation.

As councils continue modernising their digital estates and adopting data and interoperability strategies, CareWorks often remains central to safeguarding, case recording, and statutory work. 6B helps authorities enhance the value of CareWorks through secure, reliable integrations that respect governance, vendor patterns, and operational realities.

Understanding CareWorks Integration

CareWorks is a flexible case management platform widely used across local authorities to support children’s services, adults’ social care, community health, and integrated multi-agency teams. It manages assessments, plans, workflows, case notes, safeguarding information, and statutory reporting.

However, effective social care work depends on accurate, timely information from multiple systems. Without integration, practitioners face duplication, incomplete records, manual data entry, and delays that hinder decision-making and multi-agency coordination.

CareWorks typically needs to interact with systems such as finance and commissioning platforms, health and NHS systems, education and attendance data services, housing and homelessness systems, portals, document management solutions, and corporate reporting tools. Integrations must meet strict requirements for UK GDPR, safeguarding, auditability, and alignment with local information-sharing agreements.

6B helps councils design and deliver integrations that connect CareWorks effectively and securely to the wider system landscape, improving outcomes for practitioners and residents.

Our CareWorks Integration Process

Our process starts with a structured discovery phase where we collaborate with social care practitioners, business support teams, IT, and governance leads to understand your CareWorks configuration, workflows, and pain points. We assess existing interfaces, manual workarounds, and data exchange requirements.

Our architects then design an integration approach tailored to your vendor setup, infrastructure, and digital strategy. Depending on your environment, this may include API-led integration, secure file exchange, event-driven messaging, scheduled synchronisation, or using an integration layer to standardise patterns across the authority.

During delivery, our engineers develop and configure connectors, transformation pipelines, and integration services. Data mappings are carefully aligned with CareWorks structures for assessments, plans, case records, provider data, and statutory information. Automated testing and monitoring ensure performance, reliability, and data integrity.

We conduct end-to-end testing across real workflows such as referral handling, assessments, safeguarding processes, finance updates, and reporting journeys. Following go-live, we provide handover, documentation, and optional long-term support via our managed services.

Benefits of CareWorks Integration

Integration reduces duplication and manual administration across social care, health, education, and corporate teams. This frees practitioners to focus on supporting children, families, and adults, not re-entering data into multiple systems.

Joined-up information enables better safeguarding, more effective early intervention, reduced risk, and improved decision-making across agencies and multidisciplinary teams.

For councils, integrated CareWorks environments support accurate financial management, stronger statutory reporting, and improved inspection readiness. Integrated data also strengthens intelligence, analytics, and service planning.

For service users, integrated systems provide smoother experiences, quicker responses, and more coordinated support from professionals across departments and partner organisations.

CareWorks Integration FAQs

What types of systems can CareWorks be integrated with?

CareWorks can be integrated with finance and commissioning systems, health and NHS platforms, education and attendance data services, housing systems, provider portals, document management tools, and corporate data warehouses. Integrations are tailored to your authority’s architecture and workflows.

Do CareWorks integrations require changes to existing social care workflows?

Integrations are designed to support and enhance existing workflows, not disrupt them. Where improvements or automation can safely reduce manual effort, we work with practitioners and service managers to agree changes collaboratively.

How do you ensure that sensitive social care data remains secure?

We apply privacy-by-design principles, encryption in transit, least-privilege access control, and full auditability. All integrations align with UK GDPR, safeguarding requirements, and local information governance policies.

Can you integrate both cloud-hosted and on-premise CareWorks environments?

Yes. Our integration approaches accommodate cloud-hosted, on-premise, and hybrid CareWorks deployments. Designs account for network boundaries, vendor constraints, and security models to ensure stable, compliant interoperability.

How do you handle changes to CareWorks configurations or data structures?

We use modular transformation and mapping components that can be adapted as CareWorks evolves. As part of managed support, we track vendor updates to ensure integrations remain aligned with new releases and configuration changes.

How involved do internal teams need to be during the project?

We handle the technical delivery but rely on practitioners, service managers, IT teams, and governance leads for workflow insight, validation, and user acceptance testing. Engagement levels are tailored to your internal capacity.

Will integrating CareWorks improve reporting and data quality?

Yes. Integrations significantly reduce duplication and improve the consistency, completeness, and timeliness of data across systems. This strengthens reporting, inspection readiness, analytics, and strategic planning.

Do you provide long-term monitoring and support after the integration goes live?

Yes. Our managed service offering includes ongoing monitoring, maintenance, optimisation, incident resolution, and support for configuration or vendor-driven updates, ensuring integrations remain reliable and compliant.
