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.
Technical workshops
We run weekly technical workshops which are open to all LA children's services employees to attend, focused primarily on Python.
​
Commencing January 2024, we will offer an 8-10 week "beginning Python" series of workshops aimed at absolute beginners, and working with our online coding and deployment environments to ensure that everyone can get involved.
​
Other workshops offer a mix of beginner and more advanced sessions, and also a mix of structured lessons and more open drop-in conversations. We share details of upcoming sessions with our dedicated mailing list, to which you can sign up below.
About us
This offer is led by Data to Insight. It was established in partnership with DLUHC and Wigan Council. We have since extended support via partnership with the Eastern Region Performance and Information Management Group, and London Councils.
The project's initiation was financed by a grant from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities.​
