Consultation for Code of Practice for Statistics Edition 3.0

Proposed Code 3.0 Hub

OSR is refreshing the Code of Practice for Statistics to better meet the needs of its audience. We are consulting on proposals for changes to the existing Code to strengthen and help futureproof it.

Part of our proposal is to create a new Code Hub to present the different elements of the Code – the essential thinking that underpins the Code, the guiding principles of the Code, as well as the TQV standards for official statistics and intelligent transparency. The proposed Code Hub also has an area for guidance that supports understanding of the core framework and how to apply TQV.

The following webpages have been created to illustrate the proposed Code Hub. The content within the Code Hub relates to other proposed materials that we are consulting on and not the existing Code of Practice for Statistics V2.1.

Our consultation on the Code of Practice for Statistics (edition 3.0) ran for 16 weeks and closed on 14 February 2025. We are now considering the responses, and will update this page in due course with our next steps. If you wish to contact us about the Code or our work on the refresh, please email regulation@statistics.gov.uk
