The London borough of Camden focused on bringing together information from a range of systems to support frontline workers provide a more effective service to families in need.
Camden has been an active participant in the national Troubled Families programme. At the same time, the council is recognised as a leader in exploiting the potential of data and digital tools and technologies to develop greater understanding of residents’ needs and to deliver more effective services.
The borough wanted to increase the breadth and value of its activities around collecting, matching and using data, both to support the multi-agency, whole-family working associated with the national Troubled Families programme and to extend the same approach to all families in need within the Camden area.
The ultimate aim of the digital transformation project was to contribute to achieving better outcomes and greater resilience and wellbeing for families in Camden.
