Policy in Practice helps local authorities to unlock the power of their existing administrative data to improve the way social policy and welfare support is delivered across the UK.With over 1.5 million shielded residents, one million new benefit claimants, and thousands of vulnerable children and adults, councils are at the frontline of supporting people impacted directly or indirectly by the pandemic. They have a statutory duty to protect their most vulnerable households and recognise the importance and potential of their existing data to help identify and support people impacted by COVID-19\.Low income households are disproportionately more likely to be affected by the measures put in place to control the pandemic. With benefit caseloads rising rapidly, the administrative data councils hold on low income residents (those in receipt of housing benefit or Universal Credit) can help councils target support quickly to those most heavily impacted.This data is already an essential part of the design and delivery of support at the local level, helping local governments target the right support to the right people. Currently, there is a time-lag between the receipt of administrative data and our ability to deliver meaningful insights, with the process taking up to six weeks and refreshed on a quarterly basis. With conditions changing so quickly due to COVID-19, these analytics need to be delivered monthly and in near real time to maximise their impact and effectiveness and utility for councils. Real-time analytics will help councils to identify newly vulnerable and key affected groups to better mitigate the social and economic costs of this crisis.Innovate UK funding will be used to accelerate a novel approach to ongoing automation efforts with councils, speeding up access to insight from six weeks to two days, and frequency from quarterly to monthly updates. Working with administrative data on a secure, automated scalable basis in the cloud will enable data to be used operationally to support people impacted by COVID-19\. Grant funding will accelerate development efforts at pace, bringing in external expertise to enable real-time monthly analytics to be accessed by a minimum of fifty participating councils.The long-term benefit of the project will be to accelerate a shift in the use of administrative data from processing and resource planning today, toward proactive and targeted support to individuals in the UK and elsewhere, greatly improving the cost-effective delivery of outcomes across a range of social policy areas.--- Additional Information Here ---An extension is enabling six clients and two new clients to overcome internal governance delays and access the platform. An extension for impact grant will allow us to support a further nineteen clients (including six new clients) that have expressed interest in the project to access the platform, and to explore with three of our clients their request to further develop the platform by working with Universal Credit data, enabling a shift from monthly to daily updates.

政策实践帮助地方当局释放其现有行政数据的力量，以改善英国各地社会政策和福利支持的交付方式。有超过150万受保护居民，100万新的福利申请人，以及数千名弱势儿童和成人，议会处于支持直接或间接受疫情影响的人的第一线。他们有法定责任保护最脆弱的家庭，并认识到其现有数据的重要性和潜力，以帮助识别和支持受COVID-19影响的人。随着福利案件数量的迅速增加，理事会掌握的低收入居民（那些领取住房福利或通用信贷的人）的行政数据可以帮助理事会迅速将支持目标锁定在受影响最严重的人身上。这些数据已经成为地方一级支持设计和交付的重要组成部分，帮助地方政府将正确的支持目标锁定在正确的人身上。目前，从收到行政数据到我们能够提供有意义的见解之间存在时滞，这一过程需要长达六周的时间，并每季度更新一次。由于COVID-19导致的情况变化如此之快，这些分析需要每月和真实的时间交付，以最大限度地提高其对议会的影响、有效性和实用性。实时分析将帮助议会识别新的弱势群体和主要受影响群体，以更好地减轻这场危机的社会和经济成本。创新英国的资金将用于加速与议会正在进行的自动化工作的新方法，将洞察力的获取速度从六周缩短到两天，并将更新频率从季度缩短到每月。在云中安全、自动化、可扩展的基础上处理管理数据，将使数据能够在运营上用于支持受COVID-19影响的人员。赠款资金将加快开发工作的步伐，引入外部专业知识，使至少50个参与委员会能够访问实时月度分析。该项目的长期利益将是加速将行政数据的使用从今天的处理和资源规划转变为对英国和其他地方的个人的主动和有针对性的支持，大大提高在一系列社会政策领域取得成果的成本效益。此处的附加信息-一个扩展使六个客户端和两个新客户端能够克服内部治理延迟并访问平台。影响补助金的延期将使我们能够支持另外19个对该项目表示有兴趣的客户（包括6个新客户）访问该平台，并与我们的三个客户一起探索他们通过使用Universal Credit数据进一步开发平台的请求，从而实现从每月更新到每日更新的转变。
