Data Sharing Project
Background
The survey 'Disability in the East of England – an overview of structures and demands' (September 2004) identified the need for a regional information network, with IT as the vital component. With assistance from the London Metropolitan University, work started in 2006 on a way to provide access to disability information for the whole of the Eastern Region, through a regional, web-based database.
Aims
The initial aim of the regional database was to 'link' the unique local data kept by the Disability East members. This would allow members to view data held by partner organisations, as well as assisting and encouraging each other to keep information up to date. However, each member would retain independence and overall control of their local database.
The ultimate aim was to make the regional database publicly accessible through this website, offering an efficient and high quality information service for the disabled community in the East of England.
Progress
At present work is in progress to upload the newly completed locality databases to this website. The entire regional database will be fully operational during during summer 2010.
