Funded Activity Summary

Transforming information systems design and use in social welfare agencies. This project aims to examine how electronic information systems (IS) can be redesigned to improve social welfare service delivery and support direct social work practice with those most in need. Using a proven ethnographic research design, this project aims to generate new knowledge and theory in the field of social informatics that is relevant to agencies across the sector. Expected outcomes of this project are practitioner-led and theoretically informed designs of IS and innovative ways to use them. Transforming the design and use of IS will enhance information about service activity and the needs of service users, thereby providing important benefits to the most vulnerable members of society.
