There is a wealth of information available from the public sector. This workshop will provide an overview of:

How you can find different online sources of open data that may be useful to you.
How to design the collection of your own data in such a way that it will be useful for analysis. 

In this interactive session, we will combine 1+2 and produce fascinatingly informative results.

This workshop is intended for third sector professionals who are looking to gain a better understanding of available public data and how this can be used to inform their decision making.

What you will take away from this workshop:

An expanded knowledge of the wealth of data that the public sector uses and is required to share.
Skills in making that data useful and making your own data collection.
An understanding of the powerfully convincing stories that you can tell with this data.
 
To get the most out of this workshop, you will need:

An internet browser (ideally Google Chrome) and Microsoft Excel.
To be comfortable with using an internet browser and basic Excel skills.
This session is open to any charity sector employees and volunteers across the UK. Where spaces are limited priority will be given to grant holders of The William Grant Foundation, The Robertson Trust, Inspiring Scotland, The National Lottery Community Fund and The RS MacDonald Charitable Trust.
