Looking for an example of where regional data sharing changes real lives? Look no further than this initiative that aims to ensure no child misses out on free school meals due to the quirks of administrative boundaries... Super proud of my team and borough colleagues working on this 👇
For a variety of reasons, children do not always live and go to school in the same local authority area. But currently, the only households boroughs can identify as eligible for Free School Meals are children who live AND go to school in their local authority area. In our latest blog, Anna Humpleby from the LOTI team, shares how we are facilitating a pilot data sharing project working with four neighbouring boroughs to address this challenge. https://lnkd.in/d5gxb3wx #freeschoolmeals #london #data

This is really interesting to read and know about, as a data nerd and a school governor! I'll be sharing with the school I'm a governor at whose pupils live in Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
