OpenCommunity is trialling the Open Referral UK data standard for the interchange of services information.

Open Referral UK⁠

is compatible with the international

Open Referral⁠

standard but it adds extra features to support UK requirements. These requirements were identified by the

OpenCommunity Discovery report⁠

and by pilot council work on Loneliness coordinated by the Local Government Association on behalf of the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport.

The report

Prototyping an OpenCommunity Data Service model⁠

describes Alpha development work led by Buckinghamshire Council in October and November 2019 to build on the Discovery work.

The

Open Referral UK website⁠

provides guidance on the data standard and links to open API endpoints for live and service directories and ones currently under development. The contacts page lets you know where to go for more help and to provide feedback as the standard matures and we develop guidance for adopting it.

Adur & Worthing Council contracted⁠

are working with

We are snook ltd⁠

a digital service design company to drive the adoption of

@ORUK⁠

among local authorities, software suppliers, national public bodies and the community and voluntary sector. Additionally the project is required to offer specific support to Leeds council, Adur and Worthing council, and Buckinghamshire (Family Information Service) and the

localgov Drupal project⁠

funded by

MHCLG⁠
