The Equality Evidence Finder (EEF) is a data dashboard for equality evidence built on R Shiny. The Equality Analysis Team’s Statistician is currently undertaking a programme of redevelopment of the EEF to improve accessibility, usability, and automation. The intern taking on this role will take the lead on a specific element of this project which will involve developing the presentation of intersectional equality evidence on the dashboard, thereby improving user experience and filling data gaps. Therefore experience of coding in R packages ggplot2 and tidyverse are essential, while experience of coding in R shiny is desirable.

The project will consist of: mapping intersectional equality statistics to create a big picture understanding of existing evidence; creatively developing a design for the visualisation and presentation of intersectional statistics; and developing R code to bring the design to life in the Equality Evidence Finder. By the end of the project, the intern is expected to have contributed meaningfully to the presentation and communication of intersectional equality statistics. This will have the impact of improving the transparency and usefulness of these statistics for policymakers and the public. The intern taking on this role will have the opportunity to be involved in dissemination activities and are invited to hold a presentation or webinar to SG staff to demonstrate the intersectional statistics function of the EEF.
