Cat Drew explains how the UK’s Policy Lab and GDS data teams are bringing more of a data, digital, and design approach to policy making, showcasing some of the Policy Lab projects that have used ethnography and data science to create fresh insight to change the way we think about policy problems. Cat shares some of the tools she uses to make policy makers curious about data and explores the ethical framework the UK government has recently published to make sure people are using data in a way that the public would accept.
