We work with public sector organisations – such as the police, schools, social care, and health – to help them improve the support they offer to citizens. Public services collect a rich and diverse range of information in their day-to-day business and record this information in administrative records. These records contain important information on the lives of the people they seek to serve.

Our Connected Data Analytics programme explores how this routinely collected data can be used to improve service delivery through scientific insights and tools. Importantly, we investigate how combining information from these different organisations can provide a holistic understanding of how different services can act together more effectively to support the most disadvantaged in our society.
