It is important to understand the size and make-up of the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) workforce. The SDN dashboard is an extremely useful tool for you as you are able to compare and contrast with other organisations. We are adding the 2026 data to the already existing dashboard and if you had access to the dashboard, you will see it when it has been added.

If you would like to have access to the SDN DDaT census dashboard, please contact: [email protected] or [email protected] who are coordinating this.
