The UK Statistics Assembly
The UK Statistics Authority, delivered in partnership with the Royal Statistical Society, took place on Wednesday 22 January 2025.
The Assembly was established in response to a recommendation in the Independent Review of the UK Statistics Authority. It was attended by over 500 participants (in-person and online) including from central, local and devolved governments, business and industry, academia, civil society and charities, to discuss and advise on the statistical and data priorities for the UK.
The full participant pack, which includes the event’s agenda, is still available to view online, as is the response to the call for contributions which informed the agenda.
Independent report
The Authority asked Professor David Hand, Chair of the National Statistician’s Expert User Advisory Committee, to produce an independent report distilling the discussions and recommendations from the day. The report has now been published on the Authority website alongside a short statement.
