What we are doing

November / December 2025

LARIA website

Well, if you go to Council meetings and say that something should be done, there's the possibility you might get asked to do it.  So looking at other websites so LARIA can think about what it needs to do.  Will now come up with draft design.

Meeting with Local Authorities

Looking forward to 16th December meeting of the group of Local Authorities across England which I established through LARIA (Local Research and Intelligence Agency) to catch up the Local Authorities on where they are on using 2025 Index of Multiple Deprivation.

Public health funerals

Out of curiosity, looking at "the online registers of record of funerals undertaken by  local authorities".  Starting with East of England.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs) in the East of England

For the meetings of the Public Health Intelligence Managers have produced a list of the JSNAs in the East of England to help.  Asked to present at East of England Heads of PHI call.

Statisticians for Society

Completed work carried for a voluntary organisation in Edinburgh to help on managing the data they collect and bids for funding. Through the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) Statisticians for Society scheme in which organisations can ask for voluntary work and RSS members can put themselves forward to do this. Just waiting for RSS evaluation.
