How geodemographic insights have improved Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue’s understanding of community risk

The challenge

• Improve understanding of current and emerging community risk
• Identification of households most likely to have a fire
• Ensure preventative approach is risk-based and efficient

The solution

• Utilise the social and demographic insights accessed via CACI’s Acorn to enhance the understanding of risk and vulnerability within Bedfordshire
• Tailor engagement to maximise the impact on those most at risk
• Data-driven methodology ensures resources are targeted effectively and efficiently

The benefits

“By working alongside our CACI colleagues we have been able to enhance our risk-based, person-centred approach to identify and target those that most need our help. Acorn data allows us to understand the different needs of the communities we serve, as a result we can assure ourselves that our approach is both efficient and effective.”
