Justice Analytical Services Statistics: code of practice compliance

Introduction

This document outlines Justice Analytical Service’s statistical work programme for the year ahead (2026-2027). This includes expanding the breadth of information routinely published, developing our analytical processes and improving the dissemination of published statistics.

The development of this work programme is a requirement under the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, whereby areas will engage with key users of statistics to identify the most important questions the statistics need to answer and report the findings in this annual report. More information on the Code of Practice for Statistics is available on the Office for Statistics Regulation website. (See Practice 8.5 - Publish your Public Involvement and Engagement Strategy)
