Public services collect a large amount of data which is intended to be used to improve their quality, but it is often not shared between organisations, making it difficult to understand effectiveness and impact of policies.
The BOLD Programme, aims to improve the connectedness of government data so that policymakers and those working on the frontline of UK public services have better quality evidence on what works in supporting victims, reducing homelessness and substance misuse and helping offenders turn their backs on crime. Understanding what services best help prison leavers into work could help to prevent thousands of people becoming victims each year and save some of the £18 billion annual cost of repeat crimes.
