Introduction
LOTI boroughs recognise that the data they collect and/or hold is one of their most valuable assets. Used intelligently, it can help them make better decisions, drive service improvements and better serve their residents. However, they are acutely aware of the need to use data not just legally but also ethically, transparently and in a way that is worthy of their residents’ trust.
The public sector is still developing the processes, tools and governance to do data ethics well and LOTI aims to accelerate this process through bringing together best practice from across the public sector and internationally and distilling key insights into actionable steps of London Boroughs.
