Local Government Data Standards Workshop

WORKSHOP: Opportunity for industry to get involved in data and standards – local government

This is an opportunity for suppliers to influence the conversation with government around local public service data standards, and to be part of the story and feed into the creation and design of the standards.

For all companies who work with local government and have an interest in data and standards to improve how local councils can find vulnerable people and households, and then promote a coordinated multi-agency response.

Hear from MHCLG and DSIT, how they see data and standards and then deep dive into a practical example, vulnerability - people and opportunities for shared case work, looking to create a shared solution and open up new opportunities for suppliers.

MHCLG are funding a couple of standards projects, SAVVI (this initiative) and also, the Open Referral UK data project.

This event is open to techUK members and non-members

Workshop: Scalable Approach to Vulnerability via Interoperability (SAVVI) Tech Working Group Meeting What is SAVVI?

Venue: Online (Teams) Once registered, joining instructions will be shared a few days ahead of the event

Audience: Open to anyone but might be of particular interest to suppliers that provide services to local public services, around case management, vulnerability, data analytics, low code.

Agenda:

The challenge:

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.
