CVSF is hosting a peer support session on information and data management.
Date: Tuesday 26th November 09.30-12.30
Venue: Conference Room, Community Base
Description: In this session, we will discuss how to tease a story out of the data we collect and how to produce reports that best tell this story. We will be looking at some practical examples of data analysis and/or reporting tools in use, and how to go about implementing similar tools in your organisation on a restricted budget.
Programme:
9.30: Arrival coffee/tea
10.00: Welcome and introductions
10.20: Teasing / Telling a story out of the data we collect – introductory remarks: Why do we do it? who for? what story do we tell? What data do we use? How do we go about it? – Manu Fruteau (SIS)

12.15: What next
12.30: Close
The session will be led by Emmanuel Fruteau, IT and Communications Manager at Sussex Interpreting Services with support from Simon Hicks, Resources Manager, SEAP. The session will be a test case for how future sessions could be run and we anticipate that those attending will be pro-active participants in the session, bringing along their own knowledge and experience and willingness to share this with their peers. Due to the technical nature of this session participants will be asked to fill out a short survey on their experience of data management tools/systems and expected outcomes prior to the session to ensure we are covering needs.
As this is a trial, we also anticipate that those attending will provide additional feedback on the experience and share their insights with us to help us in developing our future framework for peer learning/support sessions.
