Cambridgeshire County Council is conducting a field trial of a Policy Compass tool to help four Community Learning and Skills Partnerships make better funding decisions using open data and evidence of outcomes. The CALF funding panels and new Learner Panels will test the tool to establish a baseline of contextualized data, collect outcome data, evaluate proposed funding, and identify areas of need. Next steps include testing the tool with management, running workshops with the panels, identifying additional open data, and uploading data sets to the tool.
