Watch the event

Listen to the event

Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don’t get the attention they deserve. Data Bites aims to change that.

This event was the 46th in our series, where the speakers presented their work in an exciting, quickfire format.

Each speaker had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience. 

This month's speakers were: 

• Prateek Buch, Head of Collective Intelligence at Policy Lab, on their approach to crowdsourcing knowledge
• Craig Campbell, High Streets Data Service Manager at the Greater London Authority, on adaptive re-use of data for adaptive re-use of high streets
• Caroline Kempner, Head of Data Transformation at the Department for Education, on automated daily school attendance data
• Becky Tinsley, Deputy Director of ONS Local and Coherence, and Emma Hickman, Deputy Director of Subnational Statistics and Analysis at the Office for National Statistics, on the ONS's work on subnational statistics and the ONS Local service

The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government.
