How can public services use data more effectively to identify vulnerability before people reach crisis point?

In this interview, Shelley Heckman, Programme Manager at iStandUK, shares how the SAVVI (Scalable Approach to Vulnerability via Interoperability) project is helping organisations break down data silos, improve interoperability and create the conditions for earlier, smarter interventions.

Interviewed by Linda O'Halloran, Senior Partner at TPXimpact, Shelley discusses how market shaping, common data standards and cross-sector collaboration are helping transform the way public services identify and support vulnerable people.
