NI Statistical Surveys - Burden to Households and Individuals 2020/21

Details

The Code of Practice for Statistic has a statutory basis and recognises the importance of monitoring and reducing respondent burden, balanced with the need to produce official statistics that are fundamental to good government and provide a good evidence base to inform public policy.

It is on this basis that NISRA produces an annual report detailing the burden placed on Households and Individuals as a result of completing statistical surveys issued by Northern Ireland Departments.

This report includes information on the number of surveys, or parts of surveys, issued by NI Departments (including their Arm’s Length Bodies) in the financial year ending 31st March 2021, and the time spent by Households and Individuals in complying with these regular and ad-hoc Government surveys.
