Conclusion

Since its inception in 2021, we believe considerable progress has been made across government to improve the landscape of inclusive data and analysis. Many of the commitments which have been completed have embedded inclusivity into the production and publication of data as ‘business as usual’, and the case studies here provide just a snapshot of the impressive work which has gone on over the past few years.

Over the next year, we will be reviewing the efficacy of the IDTF programme over the 2021 to 2025 period, and planning is underway to establish what comes next after March 2025 to further drive inclusivity of UK data and evidence.

The ONS is grateful to its collaborators across government, the devolved governments and the third sector for their contributions to this report.
