Vision statement to accompany User Engagement Strategy for Statistics’ progress report

The User Engagement Strategy for Statistics is now entering its final year.   

Considerable progress has been made against the initial deliverables and we will continue to build on this success. The strategy’s three goals of Collaboration, Capability and Culture will be central to our work.   

The Engagement Hub at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), working with the Government Statistical Service (GSS) engagement theme leads, and our network of user engagement champions will work together to achieve the following aims over the remaining period of the strategy. We will:

  • continue to embed user engagement into the production and dissemination cycle of official statistics  
  • share user engagement good practice and ways of working across the GSS  
  • support organisations to produce their own action plans to meet the strategy’s goals 
  • continue to engage with the media, academics and other experts to support broadening engagement with wider audiences, including the public
