When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
What we count, and who decides, shapes whose voice is heard, because every figure a leader sees was collected by someone, about someone. The pairing begins with power, voice and fairness in data, using the seven principles of Data Feminism from Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein, the FAIR and CARE principles and Camden Council's resident Data Charter. It then turns to measuring engagement, moving from outputs to influence and outcomes with Rowe and Frewer's criteria, Scotland's National Standards for Community Engagement, the limits of you said, we did, Tenant Satisfaction Measures and participatory budgeting in Scotland.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Use five questions about power, and the seven principles of Data Feminism, to examine who collects, who is counted and who decides what data means.
- Distinguish outputs, process quality, influence and outcomes, and set at least one measure at each level before an engagement exercise begins.
- Identify common gaps in public service data, from digital exclusion to the Welsh language, and the questions that bring each gap into the open.
- Apply Rowe and Frewer's criteria and Scotland's National Standards to assess the quality and representativeness of an engagement process.
- Compare extractive and participatory data practice, drawing on lived experience, the FAIR and CARE principles and Camden Council's Data Charter.
- Plan feedback and evaluation that report who was missing, include participants' own views and support learning rather than defence.
The Modules.
1 hour 15 minutes of learning.
- 10Whose Data, Whose MeaningEvery figure a public service leader sees was collected by someone, about someone, to answer someone's question. This module looks at power, voice and fairness in data, using five questions about power, the seven principles of Data Feminism from Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein, and the FAIR and CARE principles. It closes with how lived experience and participatory practice, including Camden Council's resident Data Charter, change what data means.40 min
- 15Measuring and Evaluating EngagementEngagement is easy to count and hard to evaluate. This module moves from outputs to process quality, influence and outcomes, uses Rowe and Frewer's acceptance and process criteria, and shows how a big response can still miss people. It examines Scotland's National Standards for Community Engagement, the strengths and limits of you said, we did, Tenant Satisfaction Measures, participants' own evaluation and participatory budgeting in Scotland, so that you measure to learn, not to defend.39 min
