Sickness figures

Senior Water Quality Data Officer

I work on improving and evolving the Safer Seas & Rivers Service app to make sure users get reliable, accurate info they can trust. I review all the data submitted through the app – including every single sickness report. With a solid understanding of sewage discharge data, I’m always eager to hear about local investigations or help communities dig into their local data to uncover what’s happening in their area.
