Our recommendations
Based on these findings, we have developed a set of 8 principles, with specific recommendations underneath each, to improve the UK inclusive data infrastructure. They are:
- Create an environment of trust and trustworthiness
- Take a collaborative whole system approach to improve the UK data infrastructure
- Ensure that groups are robustly captured
- Ensure that sufficient data are available for robust and reliable disaggregation and intersectional analysis
- Ensure that concepts are appropriate and clear
- Broaden the range of methods used and create new approaches to understand everyone’s experiences
- Review harmonised standards regularly adapting to evolving social norms and needs
- Ensure that UK data and evidence are equally accessible to all
If fully implemented, these will help to bring about the needed step-change in the inclusivity of UK data and evidence.
