We are living in a digital age where data powers government services and decision making. As a result, it's everyone's business to understand how data works.

Is the data being interpreted in a way that fosters inclusion, equity and positive outcomes for all citizens?

Learn to identify data biases; how to ask questions about your data; the role of the public service in building data literacy in this digital age; and other relevant topics.
