Statistics on Poverty and Income Inequality in Scotland
We are currently assessing the following National Statistics produced by the Scottish Government:
- Poverty and Income Inequality in Scotland (formerly Households Below Average Income).
We would like to hear from any current and potential users of these statistics. Meeting users' needs is at the heart of the Code of Practice, and collecting user views is an important part of the assessment process. Feedback can be in any form, but it would be particularly helpful to us if you could structure your response around the following areas:
1. Why these statistics are of interest to you or your organisation. Please explain how you use the statistics or how you would like to be able to use them.
2. How well these statistics meet your needs, and how they could be improved. Please consider their comprehensiveness, the level of detail available, how accessible and timely they are, the commentary and presentation, and any explanations of methods or other available metadata.
3. How satisfied you are with the way that the producer team in the Scottish Government engages and consults with you as a user. For example, you may have communicated with them about these statistics via email; attended a user day; or participated in formal consultations.
4. It may be useful for us to share your comments with the Scottish Government, to enable them to take account of your views as they develop the statistics. Please indicate clearly whether you are happy for us to pass on your comments and contact details.
We may want to contact you to discuss your views. Please indicate whether you are happy for us to do so, and provide contact details. You may send your response via email to the Assessment leader Jill Barelli at assessment@statistics.gsi.gov.uk or, if you would prefer to speak to Jill, please call 020 7592 8668.
