Scalable Approach to Vulnerability via Interoperability (SAVVI) Tech Working Group

Overview

Please register your interest if you would like to be part of this working group!

The working group will encourage active two-way participation. We want to create an environment where innovation can flourish and the needs of the vulnerable are met. Suppliers will be a critical friend of the SAVVI project in all tech related matters. As well as exploring how SAVVI standards interoperate with other standards, we want to hear how suppliers propose to use the standards and any existing best practices they can share on supporting the vulnerable and the impact they see the standards will have.

At the next meeting, the SAVVI team will introduce the data standards, which will be followed by a discussion to gain views and feedback from suppliers on how the standards fit into the market. Attendees will also have the chance to review the Terms of Reference.

Upcoming meetings

14 January 2025, 10.00 - 12.30, online and we will hear from CDDO and MHCLG

What is SAVVI?

The Problem:

Local Councils need to identify vulnerable people and households, and then lead a multi-agency, and community response to assessing needs and providing support and interventions. This has involved blending attributes from data sourced from many local and national organisations. Councils have found that datasets containing vulnerability attributes need to be discovered and shared; attributes are hard to extract from many datasets due to inconsistent semantics, quality, and governance; matching datasets is imprecise due to inconsistent use of identifiers and lack of biographic standards; action tracking in real-time across many agencies requires a secure standards based ecosystem, rather than shared product.

This techUK working group is an opportunity for techUK members to offer their input to the work and give a view from suppliers.
