The SAVVI Process starts when an organisation decides to take the lead in finding people or households with a particular vulnerability, so that they can be offered support. We call this the Lead Organisation as they will have to take decisions about how the process will run, and coordinate how partner organisations will share intelligence and provide support.
The reasons why addressing the vulnerability is a priority issue are set out, which might refer to;
metrics that illustrate how the local area compares to others
organisational policies and objectives
programmes dictated by others
The Lead Organisation will need to be precise about the vulnerabilities that it is looking to address, and the remit to address them. Many of the Information Governance arrangements that cover data sharing and re-use will rely on these definitions. The organisations who control access to data, will expect a clear undertaking about how and why their data is to be used before they are likely to share it.
Some of the key roles, and project partners, are established.
