Meet the SAVVI Team

by Shelley Heckman, Published 26 May 2021

⁠

Last month, I blogged about

assembling the SAVVI team⁠

for phase 2 of our Scalable Approach to Vulnerability via Interoperability project. We are delighted to announce that we have appointed some capacity, expanding our team, and we are now in a position to formally introduce you to the SAVVI Phase 2 crew!

Firstly, we are joined by

Ian Singleton⁠

(left), and

Simon Dickinson⁠

(right) from Digital Gaps. Ian, and Simon are providing facilitation support; their role as SAVVI coach will be to help our case study local authorities to map and follow the SAVVI process against their projects to identify and support vulnerable people and households.

⁠

SAVVI is a fantastic opportunity to look at the end-to-end process in making better use of data, better use of data standards and better application of Information Governance frameworks to find vulnerable people who are at greatest risk or in greatest need of that support
