Intelligent Use of Data

Data can tell a meaningful story about how children and families are doing and the impact of service delivery.

Child safeguarding departments gather a large volume of data for a range of different purposes, such as compliance, statutory reporting, and case management. Many organisations are conscious that they aren’t making the best use of their data and are searching for ways to enhance data intelligence to improve outcomes.

Some of the common challenges include:

  • There may be gaps, replication, or reliability issues with data,

  • The large volume of data may feel overwhelming and inaccessible,

  • Some senior and operational leaders may not feel confident analysing and interpreting data,

  • Data insights may not translate into action, or

  • The organisation might need support establishing systems to make the best use of data.

Build it.

While effective solutions will vary, some examples of outcomes include:

  • Co-developing an Outcomes & Impact Framework,

  • Building Data Dashboards,

  • Developing skills, knowledge, and confidence to gather, analyse, and interpret data, and

  • Establishing organisational systems to integrate data into day-to-day leadership activities.
