About the Chief Data Officer
Data in Camden
Data is central to Camden’s future; it has the potential to unlock so much for our citizens, communities and businesses as we look to solve some of the significant issues society faces.
Camden Council strongly believes that data rights are human rights. Data is an integral part of any modern organisation; however, there are significant challenges to ensuring trust in organisations that collect, hold, and use people’s personal information. While the dangers to individual freedoms can be exploited, the possibilities and general concepts involved in data are often misunderstood. We are fostering trust through collaboration with our citizens so that they are involved in the decision-making around the data we hold about them and understand how and why it is used to improve service delivery, policy decisions and their experience with the Council.
