UKSA CONSULTATION 10th June: Strengthening User Engagement

[Mick Johnston]

The UKSA report Strengthening User Engagement has far reaching and potentially very beneficial implications for all users of statistics. The seven recommendations include:-
· Investigate and document the needs of users of official statistics.
· Government Statistical Service should use web technology to enhance the accessibility of official statistics.
· Government departments should help user groups represent the interests of their members.

Statistics users will recognise the significance of this UKSA initiative. The UKSA would like as much feedback from stats users as possible but the deadline is 10 June. Send your comments,however brief,to authority.consultations@statistics.gsi.gov.uk.

If you make a submission why not share it by posting it here. Just click POSTREPLY, type in your summary message, attach supporting documents if necessary and click submit.

The UKSA report was presented to an open consultative meeting at the RSS on 3 June 2010. See presentations attached.
