This framework is used to assess the technical skills of government statisticians and data scientists who belong to the Government Statistician Group (GSG).
All GSG statisticians and data scientists are assessed against this when they enter the profession and as they progress through the grades.

Competency framework review
We’ve published a revised pilot version of the framework. This was published in December 2020 for consultation, following the launch of the new statistics strategy, Statistics for the public good, 2020-2025.
We want your feedback on this version. Your feedback will help us improve it ahead of launching the new framework in 2021.
