User Engagement
We are always interested to hear from our users about how our statistics are used, and how they can be improved.
These data are designated as official statistics in development. There is a wider degree of uncertainty in the resulting estimates as the methods and processes are established and verified.
We wish to involve users in our assessment of suitability and quality. If you use this data, we would like to hear from you. Please get in touch using one of the methods below.
Our Show and Tell events keep users up to date with developments to our statistics products and provide a forum for users to engage directly with the statistics producers to improve our products so they better meet users needs.
