Synopsis
Public policy challenges are complex and require many organisations to collaborate to solve them. To understand root causes and know whether we're taking the right actions, we need to know what is happening for a person, their household, a business or a place - not just getting a partial picture of what is happening by looking at data from a one public service at a time.
Connecting data from across public services isn't straightforward, but is happening. This talk will outline the opportunities this brings and how we're making it happen in Scotland whilst keeping people's data safe.
