From innovative tools that boost benefit uptake to strategic resources for early intervention and unmet need, each session will showcase real-world examples of how data is driving more targeted, effective support for families.

Whether you’re working in policy, planning, or data and intelligence, this series offers valuable insights into how data can be harnessed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families experiencing poverty in Scotland.
