Based in the Policy Unit of Lancashire County Council, the role of the Corporate Research and Intelligence Team is to contribute towards social and economic wellbeing for all sections of the community in the Lancashire sub-region by:
"providing a comprehensive and responsive information and intelligence service to the county council, local and strategic partnerships, Lancashire residents, industry and commerce and others who have a general interest in the social and economic wellbeing of Lancashire."
The team undertakes this task by:
- acquiring, collating, analysing and disseminating reliably sourced official and non-official data and intelligence, including public opinion polls, about Lancashire's social and economic position and its performance across a wide range of measures and indicators relative to the nation and the region;
- contributing to regional, county and sub-county policy development and supporting the evaluation and impact of policy decisions and strategies;
- incorporating information and intelligence into strategic and policy initiatives to represent and advocate Lancashire's case for social and economic funding assistance at regional, national and European levels;
- maintaining and extending data sharing, intelligence and joint working partnerships with external public- and private-sector organisations in support of intelligence-driven decision making;
- making use of socio-economic information and intelligence to promote the merits of Lancashire as a place to live and work and the industrial and commercial investment opportunities in the sub-region, including where appropriate the organisation and co-ordination of special events, presentations and exhibitions;
- providing content for the Lancashire Profile, JSNA Health and Wellbeing, Living in Lancashire and Safer Lancashire websites.
