Goal and impact
Predicting changes in the number of youth and WMO support notifications due to the Corona virus
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: with this approach on predicting youth and Wmo support in the Corona period, we contribute positively to the health of our residents, especially young people. This contributes directly to the value Health, and indirectly to Safety. As we would like residents to feel safe in our city too, and we see that the Corona virus and the measures put in place have a lot of impact on our residents. We also contribute to the value Justice, as we want to provide appropriate help to a relatively vulnerable group in the corona period (young people). With this approach, we proactively seek to connect with our residents, and this leads to greater elaboration of the value Human Dignity.
Human intervention
The algorithm (with direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the right follow-up step based on this information and the context of the situation. This principle is included in our Utrecht framework Internal Guidelines for Algorithm Application.
Risk management
The Utrecht data scientists, Information and Process Advisors (IPA) and Decentralised Information Security Officers (DISO) within the Utrecht municipality have a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm, in addition to the employees directly involved. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:
- data leak by making personal data of Utrecht residents publicly available
- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without interpreting the relevant context of the situation
- 'function creep' regarding data in the application of the algorithm, causing the algorithm to give a distorted picture of what is going on. This can occur because the same type of data is used when applying the algorithm, and the algorithm uses that as confirmation of what comes out as information

- Residents who do not have sufficient income or assets themselves usually receive benefits. The municipality of Rotterdam investigates whether the benefits that residents receive are legitimate and still correspond to their current situation. The algorithm that supported the selection for these re-examinations has not been used since the beginning of 2022.Last change on 18th of July 2024, at 12:37 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- A resident who has been given a prison sentence and is trying to evade it is called a fugitive convict. These residents are not entitled to assistance. Municipalities must check this and, if necessary, stop the assistance benefit after investigation.Last change on 11th of October 2024, at 8:14 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- When implementing the Participation Act, it is important to proactively encourage unemployed residents to be guided to a sustainable form of employment. With the Matching for Work process, we ensure that vacancies and personal needs of residents are linked efficiently, using the application of an algorithm.Last change on 12th of July 2024, at 9:45 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- An assistance recipient can only apply for assistance from the municipality where the resident is registered. For example, as a result of moving house, a person may receive assistance from several municipalities. Stichting Inlichtingenbureau (IB) informs the municipalities about this. The municipalities can then stop unlawful ongoing benefits.Last change on 11th of October 2024, at 8:40 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
