With digital and technological capabilities growing and AI-tools increasingly prevalent, many organisations are deploying new and emerging technology to support the delivery of a range of services to children, young people and families.
Such initiatives often involve improving the use of data and ensuring data sources across services are more seamlessly integrated to benefit those using services.
Technology offers a range of benefits. Digital platforms provide a unique opportunity to engage with children and young people in an accessible way and can support the workforce to do their jobs more efficiently so they can focus their time on working with children and families.
When services are able to better understand and process their data, they can offer targeted and more effective support to children, young people and families.
