Linked data for supporting operational decision making in Probation

Join analysts from Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to learn how linked data dashboards are transforming probation decision making

Linked data for supporting operational decision making in Probation

Ministry of Justice (MoJ)

Probation practitioners often need to make critical decisions using information held across multiple systems, with no common identifiers and limited time.

In this session, colleagues from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) showcase how linked data is being used to support operational decision making in Probation. The team has developed a digital dashboard - the Case Information Dashboard (CID) - that brings together key information from internal and external data sources, giving practitioners a single, integrated view of individual offender data.

You’ll hear how improved data access has reduced operational issues, increased productivity and improved user satisfaction, and how multidisciplinary collaboration between data scientists, engineers, policy colleagues and frontline staff made this work possible.
