The Well is a great resource which would be very useful across Council and with external stakeholders for planning, data collection and evaluation; as well as an engagement tool with a prevention/early intervention focus.

The Well is a central hub of information, expertise and advice for all who are working on public health issues including addressing the social determinants of health. It facilitates systems thinking when facing an issue and allows for creative thinking at a strategy level. The information, statistics and data on The Well is fantastic for planning and reporting purposes, particularly for shared planning and collective impact.

It’s a place to go at the beginning of a new project to find key pieces of research and local resources that aren't published academically, but provide great learnings and information. This will save a lot of time when starting new projects, writing rationales and finding the latest statistics.
