The Nuffield Family Justice Observatory Data Partnership (NFJO DP)
Project Summary
Lancaster University and the SAIL Databank at Swansea University are working in partnership with the Nuffield Observatory to improve safe access to important national datasets. Better use of this data is essential to building our understanding about how the family justice system is working.
Over the course of 5 years, we aim to build capability in the use of administrative data and demonstrate its value for the Family Justice System. Cafcass England and Cymru are supporting this work given the value of national data held by both organisations and the role they play in frontline decision-making.
