Summary
PolicyWise for Children & Families, in partnership with The Alex, Trellis Society, and the University of British Columbia – Okanagan , designed and tested a data collaboration initiative to improve coordination of services for youth who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The How to Build a Collaborative Approach to Data Sharing Report outlines important considerations, approaches, and practices needed for successful data collaboration.
Policy & Practice Implications
- Social sector leaders and staff can use the Report’s guidance to strengthen collaboration and improve access to services by sharing data and information better.
- Leaders can use the Report’s key considerations and reflective questions to guide the building of strong data governance that will support sustainable, responsible data collaboration.
- Non-profit leaders and staff can apply the Report’s client-centred design approaches to strengthen trauma-informed and inclusive data practices.
