Policy Fellowship for Daniel Shaw

Assistant Director of Analysis, NHS England (view profile)

Daniel is senior government statistician with 10 years experience working in a number of central government statistical roles. Daniel began his career working in the Government Statistical Service in the Department for Health and has since worked in a number of roles in MHCLG, including in central strategy, fire statistics, planning and affordable housing before taking overall responsibility for all MHCLG housing and planning statistics.  

A large part of his career has been spent producing detailed statistical reports and providing evidence for policy development most recently including various areas of housing and planning policy. 

Daniel current role is head of housing and planning statistics for MHCLG, leading a team of statisticians and working closely with social researchers, economist and policy colleagues. The team covers a wide range of data on housing and planning, providing analysis and evidence to support the policy development agenda of the department. 

Objectives.

  • To gain new perspectives on complex policy challenges and generate new ideas on ways to analyse these challenges. 

  • To have a better understanding of new technologies, how they could be utilised and what the potential long term impacts are 

  • To learn about new techniques in data analysis and how these could be used to provide more insight into housing and planning, providing evidence to help shape future policy

Questions

  • 1. What are the potential long term impacts, benefits and risks of additional competition in the affordable housing market from the involvement of for-profit providers? 
  • 2. How can government statisticians and analysts maintain trust in official evidence whilst making as much underlying data as possible available as open data which others are free to interpret? 
  • 3. What is the potential longer term for technology and radical policy change to be disruptors in the housing market and what effect may these have on supply and prices (Thinking of modern construction, robot labour, applications of artificial intelligence, universal income or other radical welfare changes)? 
  • 4. How could housing built in the future change further to better tackle climate change and is this achievable alongside the demand for scale in supply? 
  • 5. How could artificial intelligence and machine learning/data science be applied to mine housing market and planning data and what additional insights might this yield? Are there other administrative data sources that could be interrogated to enhance our traditional data collections?
