Home - Advanced and Predictive Analytics Network in Local Government
Welcome to APAN
Responding to the increasing use of predictive analytics within councils, the LGA has created a new online network for practitioners, bringing together practical help, support and an area for discussion on the use of advanced and predictive analytics into one place.
The Advanced & Predictive Analytics Network in Local Government (APAN) provides a network for local government data analysts and other invited experts to discuss, share and consider the opportunities, benefits and risks of using advanced analysis and predictive analytics in local government settings.
This is an interactive space where councils can share learning and support one another in a rapidly evolving area of innovation.
In time, we hope for the network to feature a range of discussions on the potential for data use to aid policy decisions and provide evidence for interventions. The network priorities will be determined by our users of this service. It will give councils an opportunity to showcase their use of projects, offer the evidence for their decisions, as well as share the systems and algorithms deployed for wider transparency, sharing and scrutiny.
We set out more detail about the partner organisations we are working with and the features in this network and how to use them in the "about pages" link.

There’s a lot of great research and analysis undertaken in local government, even though there has been a reduction in capacity over the last decade or so. To celebrate this, LARIA (Local Area Research and Intelligence Association) has relaunched its awards. This is an opportunity to showcase some of the best research and analytical work from local public sector organisations over the last year, so I hope some of my contacts in councils and other local public sector organisations will submit entries. There are categories for: * Best use of local area research – sponsored by the Local Government Association (LGA) * Best use of data – sponsored by CACI Ltd, and offering an additional prize for the winner * Best use of data or research in a district council * Most engaging communication of local area research or analysis * New researcher/analyst of the year As for the rest of you, why don’t you join us at the LARIA and LGA event in London on 16 November, when we’ll be announcing the winners, as well as hearing from a range of other organisations involved in research or analysis in local areas? More details about the awards and the event are on the LARIA website. We hope to see lots of you there. #localgovernment #research #data #localgov #awards #event |

AI white paper roundtable - invitation
31 May 2023 - 10:35
You are invited to a policy roundtable hosted by the LGA on the Government’s white paper: ‘A pro-innovation approach to AI regulation’. The white paper sets out the Government’s plans for a new framework that the Government believes will create the right environment for the UK to harness the benefits of AI and remain at the forefront of technological developments, whilst addressing the risks posed. Given the use of AI and the interest in local government, we want to hear your views on these proposals, and assess the implications for councils and write a response in collaboration with Socitm and Solace. We are hosting two roundtables: • Wednesday 7 June: 12pm-1.30pm If you’d like to attend, please RSVP to jenny.mceneaney@local.gov.uk with your preferred date. We will be capping each roundtable at 8 participants to enable richer discussion. If you can’t attend the roundtables, please contact Jenny to discuss alternative opportunities to feed in. |

GLA Co-design day - 26th April
In a couple of weeks the Greater London Authority will be holding an in-person co-design day on 26th April in Central London. We’re looking for people to join us in exploring how open data can be used to predict the likelihood of property development in London. The Challenge was created to help the GLA infrastructure team and their stakeholders, such as utility companies, plan their activities more efficiently. The goal is to create a methodology for predicting which areas in London are likely to be developed that can be incorporated into the workflow of the GLA team. More information is available here: Challenge LDN.
Who we are looking for We are looking to invite teams of those with data science skills to attend the co-design day, and there is a financial incentive for these teams to participate. We are also interested in highlighting the day to those with specialist knowledge about planning data, or a policy interest in the area, who may be interested in attending to lend their expertise to these teams.
Attending the co-design day
Anyone who would like to attend the co-design day should get in touch with Juan Pablo Astolfo at juanpablo.astolfo@london.gov.uk by 19th April who will be able to give more information and explain the registration process. |

We are pleased to invite you to join us at a forthcoming webinar on Embedding Data Ethics in Local Government: Learning from Amsterdam, New York and London
The event takes place on 8th December 8 2022 at 4-5pm
LOTI is the London Office of Technology and Innovation and has recently launched its London Data Ethics Service. We believe this is the first of its kind
This is one of the first international conversations between leading global cities about data ethics in local government. Cities are often leading the way when it comes to developing standards and approaches that enable them to innovate with data whilst maintaining the standards around privacy, accountability, transparency and fairness that their residents expect of them.
This event is also intended to spark an ongoing conversation around this important topic between experts, local government data practitioners and other stakeholders like national level policymakers, so we warmly encourage you to share the invitation with colleagues and anyone else who may be interested. |
