Session 1: Adopting a blended data approach to weather the storm of change
At a time where we’re seeing increases in our daily cost of living which affects multiple community group as well as decreases in available budget to provide local services, it is critical for the public sector to assess the impact of change faced by its residents. Whether you’re focusing on challenges such as child poverty, fuel poverty or housing affordability, it is essential to be able to access and use detailed up-to-date data to evidence decision-making. This session will examine ways in which public sector organisations can adopt a blended data approach to predict likely future change and assess the impact on communities in order to weather the storm of change.

Session 2: Harnessing Council Data to Understand Unmet Need in West Lothian Council
There’s a lot of data out there that tells us about the places and people who are getting the support they need, but how do we identify and find those who are missing out? In this session we will cover a project undertaken by the Improvement Service and West Lothian Council to understand and identify this unmet need. The session will describe the background to the project, how data has been used to identify the areas of interest, how West Lothian have used the findings to inform interventions, and next steps for building on and improving this approach. The approach is easily replicable and should give participants some ideas about how they could use their own data in a similar way.
