The South West Observatory
The South West Observatory (SWO) is the information gateway for the South West region (England). Through its network of analysts and data-gatherers, individuals can access information and analysis from across a broad range of demographic, environmental and economic services spanning the whole of the region and its parts.

The South West Observatory comprises six Thematic Modules, seven sub-regional Local Intelligence Networks and a co-ordinating Core Unit (a company limited by guarantee). It also works within a wider network of regional agencies and government departments based in and about the region.

The South West Observatory works to a common vision that policy making in, and about, the region should be based on sound, up-to-date and reliable evidence. It is the Observatory's aim to be the automatic first port of call for intelligence about the South West region and its parts, with any one of our constituent bodies being a portal to all of our network of experts and resources.
