Data literacy is a key enabler of the value and impact from data. How are you approaching this within your organisation?
Data literacy is at the core of our current transformation. We have already embedded data awareness and responsibilities into new recruit and front-line-leaders training. We have a marketplace of data ads and mandatory training which all officers and staff undertake – everything from data-sharing through management and artificial intelligence (AI). This year, we will be aligning literacy for data professionals alongside new role profiles and career pathways. Nationally, we are aligning all of the above for wider UK forces with the College of Policing and have a significant amount of time training the next wave of Chief Constables on their Executive Leadership Programme.
