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.

Newham Council conducted user research with practitioners that identified cultural and behavioural barriers to information sharing between safeguarding partners and examined ways to address these. Their insights and recommendations contributed to the content of the DfE report on Improving Multi-agency Information Sharing, which was published in 2023.
