An application to the Local Government Association, to work with the Design Council to embed data driven decision making within Essex services, has been shortlisted.

The proposal seeks to embed the ABCD Methodology and the Essex Data predictive analytics work within the Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service contract, run by Virgin Care and Barnardos, to ensure communities are at the forefront of driving the delivery of good outcomes. If successful, a small community based multi-agency project team will be established, to include parents, working with the Design Council to embed ABCD as the model for working with the most hard to reach families across the county.
