Building local data capability project publishes insights from the ground
The building local data capabilities project is a collaboration between the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO) and Department of Information Studies at University College London and five local authorities. This sees a data for policy fellow being placed in each partner authority to work on a project to build local data capacity, provide scalable insights, and encourage the use of more uniform local data.
Each fellow is also publishing an article about their experience so far and their individual data project. The first two instalments from the West Midlands Combined Authority and Belfast City Council now available on the IPPO website.
ONS Local bespoke datasets
As part of ONS Local’s engagement with our stakeholders we encourage requests for specific subnational datasets. Recently these have included the following bespoke datasets.
ONS Local workshops
Workshop two: Stat-Xplore: 11 July 2024 at 09:30am
Join us in this engaging session which aims to go through the basics of how to get the most from Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Official Statistics using Stat-Xplore.
With Stat-Xplore, DWP offers users a fully self-service platform for interactive data dissemination giving users the power to ask any questions they like of a series of varied datasets rather than being limited to what DWP decide.
You will be guided through how to navigate and best use certain features of the tool to maximise your outputs in a fraction of the time.
ONS Local presents webinars
ONS Local presents: Educational and geographical mobility of young people: 17 July 2024 at 09:15am
This webinar covers ONS and HM Treasury analysis using the Longitudinal Education Outcomes dataset, exploring the variation in educational outcomes and geographic movement of young people across English travel to work areas and across towns and cities. The focus of the analysis is England only.
ONS Local presents: Local economic growth with What Works Growth: 17 September 2024 at 09:15am
Join What Works Growth to explore how data can help policymakers better understand their local economy and where best to intervene.
Good economic policy is evidence based. However, it can be difficult to identify insights within the available data to better understand the local economy.
What Works Growth is developing a series of resources to help local and combined authorities identify key issues faced by their local economy through analysis of available data. The resources will also help contextualise this data by providing a broader understanding of what drives economic growth.
You can keep up to date with future ONS Local webinars and workshops by following us on Eventbrite
If you have any suggestions for a future webinar, or would like to present work from your own team, we also welcome submissions – feel free to contact us at ons.local@ons.gov.uk
