From September to March, the Observatory undertook a series of road shows. Each of the Local Intelligence Networks, which broadly encompass the former county geographies, hosted an event. Representatives from the wider Observatory and regional bodies also participated in each event.
The road shows were an opportunity for those who develop, make or monitor policy locally to understand the work of the LIN and how it both adds and derives benefits from being part of a wider observatory; to explore current information needs at a local and regional level; and to explore how a changing policy and structural environment within the region, post sub-national review, will change information needs in the future. The presentations from each road show are available to download below.
