Details

DI results estimates are not official or national statistics. This is because of the range of data sources we use and their variable quality, which are affected by the challenging environments where we work.    

We and our partners strive to apply best practice in data quality, and we voluntarily follow the Code of Practice for Statistics when producing DI results.

This statement of voluntary compliance with the code of practice demonstrates the steps we have taken to maximise the trustworthiness, quality and value of DI results.
