Northern Ireland Public Data Panel

NIPDP
Northern Ireland Public Data Panel

The Northern Ireland Public Data Panel (NIPDP) aims to discuss, under a range of topics, how our data in Northern Ireland is or could be used for public good.

Panel members will:

    • Explore our understanding of how data is collected and used in Northern Ireland
    • Advise on how public trust, transparency and acceptance in the use of data can be supported
    • Discuss the meaning and evidencing of public benefit in data use
    • Members will also be co-developing the panel and its work, and advocating for its use through 'Data Dialogues'.

What is a 'Data Dialogue?'

A ‘data dialogue’ is the NIPDP approach to deliberations on topics related to data use. Using a deliberative approach panel members participate in discussion and activities to consider opinions and views on a given subject. With the support of facilitators, they collectively explore information they have been provided with, along with their own experiences and views related to address specific questions on the use of data for public good.
