Official statistics
Home Office official statistics are published independently as part of the code of practice for official statistics. Many of these are national statistics and subject to assessment by the UK Statistics Authority. They must meet certain criteria, which include being:
- fit for purpose
- methodologically sound
- politically independent
- transparently produced
For other official statistics, the code represents statistical best practice. We publish the following information to explain how we comply with the code of practice for official statistics (implementing the Statistics and Registration Act 2007):
- Home Office statement of compliance with the code of practice for official statistics
- Home Office statement of compliance: statistical release practice
- Home Office statement of use of administrative sources for statistical sources
- publication dates for the Home Office’s national statistics outputs are pre-announced on the ‘Statistics: release calendar’.
- documents detailing early access to statistics for quality assurance purposes and pre-release access to the finalised publications are contained within individual publications
The ‘Home Office statistical work programme 2014 to 2015’ (published 3 April 2014) outlined our outputs, recent developments and future plans.
