Subject: Voluntary sector statistics meeting
RSS: Joint meeting of the Official Statistics and Social Statistics Sections
Tuesday 15th January 2013 5pm, at the Royal Statistical Society (12 Errol
Street, London, EC1Y 8LX) Tea/coffee available from 4.30
Informing Voluntary Sector Research:
How can official statistics be improved?
The voluntary sector already plays a significant part in our society and the
sector is being asked to play a greater role in public service delivery,
such as education, justice and health. To do its job well, the voluntary
sector needs statistics: to help it frame the subject it is addressing; to
use in bids for resources; to help allocate resources, monitor performance
and assess impact. Many larger voluntary sector organisations produce their
own statistics, but they and others also rely on statistics from government.
This event provides the opportunity for researchers and statisticians to
feed into discussions about the adequacy of current statistics and
engagement between the voluntary sector and government statisticians, and to
hear about the Community Life Survey and recent research into the knowledge
and skills of the voluntary sector, in terms of handling data analysis, risk
and evaluation.
. Representatives of voluntary sector users and official statistics
producers will discuss the adequacy of current statistics and engagement
between the voluntary sector and producers of official statistics, and ideas
for improvement. To be followed by audience discussion / Q&A.
. Update on progress with the Community Life survey - Rebecca Wyton, Office
for Civil Society.
. Data Capacity in the Voluntary Sector - David Walker, Getstats Director,
RSS.
Attendance is free and open to all, but pre-registration is recommended. To
