Details

This statement describes the principles and practices to which analysts in DLUHC will adhere when handling changes to official statistics that have already been placed in the public domain. Publication of this policy is a requirement of Practice T3.9 of the Code of Practice for Statistics.

DLUHC aims to avoid the need for unscheduled revisions to statistical publications unless they are absolutely necessary and has put quality assurance processes in place in order to minimise the possibility of such revisions.
