UK Statistics Assembly

The inaugural UK Statistics Assembly will bring together users, producers and regulators to discuss and help shape the UK’s statistical and data priorities.

Hosted by the UK Statistics Authority and arranged in partnership with the Royal Statistical Society, the UK Statistics Assembly is formed in response to a recommendation from the Independent Review of the UK Statistics Authority, led by Professor Denise Lievesley.

The Assembly is for representatives from diverse and wide-ranging sectors including:

• arm's length and public sector bodies

• business and industry

• charities and voluntary organisations

• devolved administrations

• international stakeholder organisations

• local government

• media representatives

• members of the public

• research and academia

• UK government departments

• Discuss and identify priorities and gaps for the production of UK statistics.
• Encourage and enable contributions and representation from a diverse range of users and producers.
• Build upon existing engagement structures to understand user priorities across the statistical community.

It's also an opportunity to network, hear from statistics and data experts, and shape the UK's statistical landscape. We look forward to seeing you there.

To help us prepare for the Assembly, we also invite you to take part in a call for contributions, which is open until midnight on Sunday 3 November 2024. This is an opportunity to submit:

• suggestions for agenda discussion items and presenters

• examples of statistical and data priorities, gaps, and public and user needs

• ideas for other cross-cutting areas for the Assembly to consider, such as data sharing and technology

Your contributions can help to shape the Assembly event’s agenda and thematic discussions.
