Data Essentials

 Registration is closed for this event
Data isn’t just about numbers and statistics, or even stories; it’s about asking the right questions of the valuable information you have, so that you can better meet the needs of the people you support. Small charities and community organisations are capturing useful data all the time. So are local authorities, national government, big charities and companies. Both our own data and that of others can help us understand our work, ensure policy makers listen and prevent us being overlooked for vital funds. Ultimately it helps us make the right decisions, spotting problems before they happen and identifying solutions in ever changing political and socio-economic conditions. But where do you start?

Description

What you’ll learn

This online webinar, will cover some of the core principles which should be used when working with data at all stages of the data journey:

  • collection
  • analysis
  • presenting data

You’ll have the chance to consider:

  • What exactly do we mean by ‘data’?
  • Where do we go to find relevant data from others?
  • And are we collecting information in a way that’s suitable for comparison?

 

Ultimately, we’ll start you on a journey of practice that will help you back your hunches about what’s happening in your activities and services that people can understand and create and share your own findings that will stand up to scrutiny.
