Official Statistics

The RSS Official Statistics Section committee arranges a programme of meetings on official statistics as well as contributing to the RSS annual conference.

The remit and activities of the Section are likely to be of interest to a wide range of audiences, including many people who would not consider themselves primarily (or at all) as “statisticians” and are not members of the Section. We encourage such people to get involved in our activities, and make sure that its meetings are generally accessible to non-statisticians.

Remit

The aims and objectives of the Section are:

To provide a forum for discussing the collection, quality, dissemination, analysis, and interpretation of official statistics, including methods and findings, with a view to identifying and sharing good practice
To organise regular activities (working jointly with other Sections, Local Groups and Special Interest Groups of the RSS, as well as User Groups, where possible) to bring together producers and a wide range of users of official statistics
To promote the diversity of topics across official statistics and encourage careers in official statistics.
