The Well-being of the Future Generations Act wants us to think and act differently, and this means using different data and thinking about the data we use differently to help drive our decision making.

The skills of deciding what data you need, how to collect it and then what to do with that data are a necessity. We need to change the culture and mind set around data and build the skills within teams, within organisations and within multi-agency partnerships to maximise our use of data and to enable data driven decision making.
