Staffordshire Centre for Data Analytics

The SCDA is a collaborative initiative between local partners - Staffordshire County Council, Staffordshire Police and Keele University - aiming to collaborate with resources, data and approaches to collectively inform on agreed use cases. The use cases are jointly agreed, predominantly focused on problem-solving, early intervention topics aimed at informing upstream understanding and reducing subsequent impact on public services. The main aims of the SCDA are:

• To foster and role-model a culture of collaboration and innovation
• Create multi-organisational, actionable insight from otherwise siloed information, to support the public sector to improve outcomes in Staffordshire
• To develop the data analytical skill base in Staffordshire that the public sector can access
• To develop tools and blueprints for the public and private sectors in Staffordshire to effectively and ethically, share and better utilise data for public good
• Initiate and support a number of real-world interventions based on data to change lives for the better
