Goal and impact
We want to monitor the development of Utrecht children between 0 and 4 years old. So that we can contribute to them growing up in a healthy and safe way. In doing so, we contribute directly to Healthy Urban Living in Utrecht.
Considerations
Results Utrecht Uthics Assessment: with this monitoring on youth health care 0-4 years, we contribute directly to the Health value. We have ensured that data processing for this monitoring takes place in a protected and secure environment. In doing so, we contribute to the values Privacy and Technology Control. The results of this monitoring are interpreted by the youth nurse in conversation with the child's parents. This gives the parents information and a concrete action perspective regarding their child's development. This contributes to the value of Autonomy. In the follow-up steps, extra attention is paid to children with a relatively large backlog. This contributes to the value Justice.
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 for what comes out as information

Operations
Data
The following data regarding the child's development are used in the application of the algorithm:
- height of the child
- weight of the child
- information from the questionnaire about the child's progress

- We want children to get the right kind of primary education in Utrecht. It is therefore important to ensure that the registration of children at primary schools is done in a weighted and fair way for all children. We do this by applying an algorithm in which the municipality plays a directing role.Last change on 12th of July 2024, at 10:04 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
