The Commission welcomed the PHRAE’s expansion from predictive risk modelling to data and information-sharing practices in the social sector more generally. The Commission also welcomed the inclusion of data and privacy issues as items of focus for the Government’s work programme on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
