Decision details

The Board will receive a presentation on the Borough Data Explorer, an interactive online platform designed by the Council that hosts a range of data sets including the Borough Manifesto indicators and Social Progress Index.

The Board received a presentation by the Council’s Insight Unit concerning the development of a Borough Data Explorer and a Social Progress Index at a ward level; the first of its type. Similar presentations have been made to a number of health & wellbeing system partners. The presentation demonstrated how data at ward level based on the ninety-one indicators in the Borough Manifesto when drilled down further could be used to target specific areas for direct health interventions. 

The Board expressed their excitement at the opportunities for deploying the tool to support health and wellbeing activity. They have requested a further report in six months to assess the value of it in terms of benefiting the health and wellbeing of Borough residents.
