Insight Not Data
From banking to government, intelligence analysts from across the public and private sectors are using data sets from a whole range of sources to create solutions for health and well-being and to understand human behaviour. So how do you go about turning data into insight?
Play
The opportunity to play is fundamental to a child’s development and their longer term mental and physical health and wellbeing. Experiences of children in Wales today are very different than those of their parents and grandparents. They are less likely to have the opportunity for independent outdoor play. Perceptions of risk of harm and safety have changed; but in our efforts to protect children we may inadvertently be exposing them to greater longer term problems.
