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.

At this event, the eighth in our series and first of 2020, our speakers presented their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each set of speakers has eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience. If you're interested in our previous Data Bites events, all video and audio is available here

In February we heard from:

  • Stan Gilmour, Head of Public Protection for Thames Valley Police, on the potential of combined data for early intervention and prevention
  • Marcus Bell, Director of the Cabinet Office Race Disparity Unit, on how data transparency can be a good way of tackling inequality
  • Anna Powell-Smith, Founder of Missing Numbers, on the data the government doesn't collect
  • Dr Stephen Lorimer, Head of Public Sector Data Policy at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, on improving the use of data across government: how big is the challenge? 

This event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Programme Director and Head of Data and Transparency at the Institute for Government.

We would like to thank ADR UK (Administrative Data Research UK) for supporting this event
