Local & Regional Government

We support local authorities and regional partnerships to become data-led , streamlining data processing and providing strategic analysis making it easy to make evidence based decisions

About our government work

At Mime, we understand the unique challenges faced by local and regional governments and are committed to helping them make data-driven decisions that improve services and outcomes for their communities. Working with local authorities is important to us because we believe in using data to support public sector efficiency and community impact.
We have a long history of collaborating with local authorities, grounded in deep sector knowledge and hands-on experience. Back in 2003 our founder, Steve, worked directly for a local authority and has maintained his connection to local government ever since through a part-time role at Wandsworth Borough Council. Since Mime was founded, local authorities have been at the heart of our work, and today, over half of England’s local authorities have since benefitted from our services.
Local and regional government partners choose to work with us because of our proven track record, our practical approach, and our ability to deliver robust, actionable insights. Our work empowers decision-makers to improve services, manage resources effectively, and deliver positive outcomes

Locality Profiles

These draw together a wide range of information from over 40 sources into a simple-to-use, graphical format. To put the data in context, analysis is provided at national, local authority, locality, ward and school level, giving a robust evidence base for planning and commissioning, demonstrating impact and identifying strengths and weaknesses in performance. The Profiles are used by local decision makers, policy advisers and analysts in schools, children’s centres, the local authority and its partners.

MAT & LA Insight Dashboards

Strategic dashboards and commentary reports spanning a range of topics – so you can prioritise support to the schools or groups of children that need it most.
