Key Findings from Case StudyKey Findings from Case Study Data rich but could improve data intelligence. Analysing by Service points to questions about
service & promotes a ‘blame culture’ or it wasn’t anything to do with me.
Analysing by family points to questions around family and focuses more on partnership work and outcomes.

Key Findings from ReviewKey Findings from Review No systematic and common understanding of what
data is held across the service Analysis is completed on a service basis rather than
looking at the range of data across CYPS. We are still operating in silos and therefore no one has the full picture and patterns across service areas not transparent.
Data knowledge and expertise is service specific. Roles of data professions are being duplicated across
the service. This leads to inefficient use of resource and lack of coordination for data requests.

Key Findings from ReviewKey Findings from Review The production of data is driven by National
requirements and therefore we are much more data rich in some areas of children’s services than others. E.g. Achievement services
Timing and validation of data is an issue – data not produced in real-time and therefore we take action based on old data.
Barriers across partner agencies in sharing data

Key Findings from ReviewKey Findings from Review The lack of a joined up approach to
data management creates issues for services to effectively plan, commission and performance manage.
Current arrangements do not meet needs of Children’s Trust and limit development of CYPS as an integrated service.

Our Vision for Data Services Our Vision for Data Services A service that is child centred. A service that shares knowledge and expertise and
uses a common language. Focus on outcomes and not individual data sets. A service that assists in helping us plan, perform
and commission services for children individually and strategically.
A service that understands the complete picture and is able to react flexibly to change whilst meeting National Requirements, CYPS requirements and the requirements of the Children’s Trust.
