Helping households thrive
Powerful new data tool to help residents receive the financial support they’re entitled to

West Oxfordshire District Council is using a powerful new data tool to help residents receive the financial support they’re entitled to, helping hundreds of households boost their income, access vital services and avoid financial hardship.
The Low-Income Family Tracker (LIFT), developed by Policy in Practice, was introduced by the Council in November 2024. The tool uses a mix of welfare policy analysis and council data to help identify households who may be missing out on support. The tool also helps the Council plan the right kind of support and monitor the impact to ensure it is making meaningful difference.
