Earlier this year, we ran our second “Using Data in the Early Years” event, bringing together leading-edge data innovators to showcase projects with the potential to transform how we support disadvantaged children during the formative stages of their lives.
At Nesta, we are interested in developing innovations that can put that data into the hands of those making the crucial decisions - whether frontline workers, service level managers or strategic commissioners - in a usable, accessible and practical form that can help inform their assessments and lead to better outcomes for children.
The event built on our previous session, and featured speakers working at the forefront of data linkage, leading the way in the joining up of early years data and using it to create tools that can lead to better interventions. We were joined by attendees from local authorities, charities, academics and businesses involved in the early years space.
