Children's Information Project
Published:
An innovative and collaborative project to improve the way that information about and from children, young people and families is used in local and national Government.
The Children’s Information Project Learning Network is an innovative and collaborative project to improve the way that information about and from children, young people and families is used in local and national Government. This information shapes and informs the support and services provided to meet and respond to the diverse needs of children, young people and families.
The project is funded by the Nuffield Strategic Fund and hosted by the University of Oxford in partnership with the University of Sussex, the London School of Economics, four local authority partners and Research in Practice.
Find out more about the project through this Research in Practice article, 'Learning is a team sport - Children's Information Project'.
Ethical and effective use of children’s information
Lots of information is collected about the children and families involved with Children's Services, but this information is not always used to best meet the needs and interests of children, young people and families.
A report sets out a framework to transform how local authorities in England use information about and from children, young people and families to improve lives.
Findings from the Children’s Information Project highlight the urgent need for ethical, equitable and voice-informed approaches to information use.
