We Make Camden and The Way We Work, set forth an organisational vision centred on relationships, innovation, and people, moving beyond bureaucratic approaches. Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. We are a values‐led organisation and work in a relational way. In this context, our growing community of Data Analysts use data to connect people, inform conversations and empower decision‐makers.

Data in Camden

Data are crucial in supporting both people and communities across Camden and we are investing in our data capabilities to realise social value in new and exciting ways, creating new insights into complex social issues and the lived experiences of people across the borough. We believe that data rights are human rights and have published our first of a kind Data Charter which presents the principles by which we ensure that data are used for public good in a transparent, ethical and accountable way. We have an appetite for innovation, and the work of our data analysts increasingly leverages emergent technologies such as those in the spheres of Generative AI, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.
