Innovation in local government is about improving the lives of the people in our
communities. Browse through our case studies to see the many innovative programmes councils are involved
in.
With the onset of COVID-19, Durham County Council needed to identify vulnerable individuals in the area and target them with specific assistance services.
In March 2020 with the onset of COVID-19, Leeds City Council needed to identify clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) people who had particular health conditions, particularly those who needed to shield or be protected from COVID-19.
Mole Valley District Council believed that if NHS shielding datasets were linked to UPRNs their identification of, and support offered to clinically extremely vulnerable residents (CEVs) in the district would be improved.
Local Authorities in Somerset needed to contact those residents who were not already covered by the national NHS shielding programme but were nonetheless situationally vulnerable.
