William Visick is a statistician on a year-long fast stream placement in the data collection team in the Welsh Government. His main responsibility is leading a project working to set up a new, individual-level collection of homelessness data in Wales. The eventual aim is for this to replace the existing statutory collection, opening up new possibilities for linkage with other datasets in areas including health, education and justice.
In his previous role, William worked for the Scottish Government’s Social Care Analytical Unit, contributing to the multi-organisation Care Home Data Review.
