Children’s Services uses Power BI as a business intelligence analysis tool that can handle hundreds of thousands of lines of raw data and add value by categorising, calculating and visualising information to give insight.
Working with colleagues in Children’s Services, interactive business intelligence dashboards have been developed to provide analysis into things like, number of service users, number of children in need, different types of interventions applied etc.
These insights can be shared with those members of staff who need the analysis to help Children’s Services improve service operations. Access to personal identifiable level data is restricted to those who have a lawful basis to access it.
We collect personal information initially on a specific Staff Profile form. Amendments and changes may then be made by: completion of a new Staff Profile form or by emailing IEYS.Admin@dudley.gov.ukwith the changes for the attention of the Childcare Workforce Officer.
