Good Morning, Wirral have recently embarked on a project to look at information that we, the Police, the NHS and Voluntary Organisations have on Violent/Race/Hate Crimes. We are hoping to map the information and analyse trends and identify "hot spots" in Wirral. Most, if not all of the information will be anonymised but, because of different Organisation's Cultures we are facing problems in getting people to share data with us. We may go down the route of Data Sharing protocols etc but I would be most grateful if any other Organisations on this list are ahead of the game on a project such as this and would be happy to share their thoughts. The other aspect of the project is the technical side, we are hoping to have a web based database but again the analyst is struggling with what is the most appropriate IT solution to populating a database from many sources. Thanks Jane Corrin Information Manager Wirral MBC ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
