Workshop to review and improve a statistical publication (November 2019)
- Date
- 14th November 2019 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
- Venue
- Office for National Statistics, 1 Drummond Gate, London, SW1V 2QQ
In these workshops (which we used to call “scrums”), participants review a statistical publication and suggest improvements. There are usually around six participants from across the Government Statistical Service (GSS). Staff from the good practice team organise and run these workshops.
Why should you take part in a peer review meeting?
Taking part in one of these workshops gives you the chance to:
- work with colleagues from the wider GSS
- gain a fresh perspective on statistical publications
- gain a deeper understanding of what makes a good statistical release
What will be covered?
Participants will discuss the publication in detail, using a fairly loose agenda. They consider:
- uses for the publication
- first impressions
- titles
- key messages
- context
- interpretation
- language
How to get involved
