WDF User Group – England
A WasteDataFlow User Group for local authorities in England has
been established. The overall aim of this group is to make WasteDataFlow a
successful data capture system with a high level of timely good quality data
returns. The Group will achieve this by:
-
identifying barriers to the effective use of the WDF system by Local
Authorities.
-
proposing practical solutions to these barriers. For example through specific
proposals on contents of on-line help, Guidance Manual, revisions to questions,
adjustments to web-based data screens, reporting functionality.
-
identifying and sharing good practices in waste data management.
-
facilitating communication within the WasteDataFlow community.
