Programme of Assessment
The UK Statistics Authority announced an initial programme of assessments on 10 November 2008 and Phase 2 on 20 July 2009.
In December 2009, the 2010-12 programme of Assessments was announced. Revised details of those Assessments due to start from July 2010 are listed below with a summary of all three years available by clicking on the Word document to the right.
Users wishing to view and sort the programme by producer body for all three years may do so via the spreadsheet download, also on the right of this page.
The Programme for 2010 is specified in more detail than for 2011 and beyond. This reflects the constantly changing nature of the range of outputs published by producers of official statistics, and factors that could affect the timing of assessments in future. The Authority will keep the sequence and timing of these assessments under review and, given the inevitability that the Programme will change, will formally publish the revised programme quarterly.
The Assessment team will discuss the detailed scope and timing with producers closer to the time of each individual assessment. Consequently, assessments may not start at exactly the time indicated here, nor have the same composition as currently envisaged. Material changes will be reflected in revisions to the Programme.
