Communicating statistics: How does the communication of statistics influence their use and how they are valued? What factors ought to be considered in the communication of statistics, for example the audience, uncertainty around the estimates?

Background

To deliver against our vision of statistics that serve the public good, in OSR we describe our work under the headings of how statistics are produced, how they are used, and how they are valued. However, in practice it is natural that elements of our work and interests cut across all of these three areas. Some of the questions we are interested in span multiple areas of our mission (how statistics are produced, used and valued).

Next steps

If you would like to share evidence or collaborate with us on any of these areas, please contact us at research.function@statistics.gov.uk.
