💻 How well do we understand AI's potential — and its risks — in the family justice system? An updated briefing by Renate Samson for @nuffieldfjo.bsky.social , co-authored by Alma's Aliya Saied-Tessier, explores exactly that. 🧵
On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, we call for #Rights #Justice and #Action
#AlmaEconomics #EvidenceForChange #DataWithPurpose
Reduced gender disparities in an economy is an indicator of greater economic stability and resilience and linked to progressive tax policies that benefit the many, not the few, and policy frameworks that are loyal to economic, social and environmental justice.
International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on the outstanding achievements of women worldwide & challenge ourselves to become harbingers of positive change in a world that continues to discriminate against women & girls.
More women in economics means more opportunities for everyone.
For the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory, we explored how lessons from youth justice can strengthen family justice data — with a focus on learning, transparency, and outcomes for children.

What is "good data" — and what does it actually enable?
When data is timely, joined-up, and centred on lived experience, it supports better decisions, keeps children visible within complex systems, and drives improvement at scale.

Costs come from two places: maintaining pitches in extreme heat, & revenue lost when sessions are cancelled.
Under a high-emissions scenario, cancellation losses alone could double by 2050 & when players get ill, emergency transport can cost $3K+ per journey.

⚽What does climate change actually cost a community sports club? For California Magic Soccer Club, the answer is $18,000 a year - and rising.
Alma Economics modelled how extreme heat is affecting club finances and player health.

The quote reads: "We are excited to have been commissioned by Foundations to carry out an independent evaluation of the Kinship Zones pilot. This is an important opportunity to contribute to a stronger evidence base about what truly makes a difference for kinship carers and the children they look after."
Foundations is working with @almaeconomics.bsky.social to carry out an independent evaluation of the #KinshipZones pilot, testing the impact of kinship financial allowances.

Kinship carers play a vital role in keeping children safely within their family networks. Yet the evidence base on how best to support them remains limited.
The Kinship Zones pilot will trial financial allowances for kinship carers across seven local authority areas in England.

🔎Phase 1 included a systematic review of public data, a Call for Evidence & stakeholder interviews.
🔎Phase 2 followed with a synthesis of findings to assess quality & spot gaps.
We found important strengths in Wales’ VAWDASV evidence base, but also key gaps & limitations.

Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse & Sexual Violence is a public health crisis rooted in gender inequality.
Commissioned by the Welsh Government, we reviewed Wales’ VAWDASV data, noting gaps, strengths & actions for policy & support.

When support lasts a lifetime, decision-making needs evidence that does too.
Our research for the Local Government Association (LGA) shows that tracking key transitions, such as moving to adult services, helps councils plan sustainable care.

To solve this, the British Film Institute (BFI) commissioned Alma Economics to map the UK’s screen sector data landscape.
🔗 To read the full report visit: www.bfi.org.uk/industry-dat...
In strong creative industries, high-quality data is the essential framework that allows creative talent to thrive. Without a unified data landscape, the UK cannot effectively govern or invest in its future.
Key findings:
📉 UK licensing for AI training is stalled by a "black box" of data.
🔍 Transparency is the non-negotiable first step for a functional market.
⚖️ Smaller creators face mounting pressure to negotiate how their work is used.
Commissioned by the @BFI’s READR initiative, Alma Economics has delivered a position paper on the frameworks governing AI, copyright, and ethical standards.
If a machine is trained on your work, do you still own the value it creates?
AI is reshaping the global economy, and the screen sector is a primary testing ground for the future of IP. How creative work is valued and compensated is at a critical turning point.
