Open Referral

We develop data standards and open platforms that make it easy to share and find information about community resources.

Funding will be allocated to drive adoption and set up a Cross-Government Advisory Group.

Very proud that our approach to #servicedirectories based on @Open_Referral UK #OpenData standards made the @HSJ_Awards shortlist!

So grateful to @DigitalGaps for driving this with us & to Tim Adams, ex @LGAcomms & @MikeThacker of @Porism for guidance🙏

@Liz_zieCurtis @JonathanDHolden @rogerswannell Would be glad to discuss!

Important to note that we can't assume that human service organizations publish reliable information about their services on their websites or anywhere else; they lack incentives. That's the root of the directory problem, no magic shortcuts.

[Open Referral @Open_Referral]

@claudiawilliams We'd be glad to discuss further!
