Data to Insight is not a software supplier in the traditional sense -- we're here to help local authority (LA) colleagues get work done and share it with each other. The best thing about Data to Insight is the community of analysts who are doing and sharing great work through this network.
We recognise that different LAs want different levels of engagement with our work. As such, we offer four key collaboration approaches to suit different users’ information needs.

Description:
North Tyneside Council, in collaboration with Northumberland Council, Professor Andrew Turnell (University of Cumbria), Professor Eileen Munro (LSE), Dr Louise Caffrey (Trinity College Dublin), and Coram Voice, report their research into how to improve the inclusion of children’s and families’ voices in children’s social care data.
They recommend a new dataset and collection methodology, including feedback forms and mobile software for capturing children’s voices.
They also report insights from the Bright Spots programme - a Coram Voice research project that helps local authorities use children’s and young people’s voices to inform service development and strategic thinking.
