Tea from 4:30pm. Wine reception after the seminar
The importance of neighbourhood statistics in providing information to
construct and implement Government initiatives has increased over recent
years. Small area indicators are used at both national and local levels.
They are used at a national level in deciding where to target new
initiatives and in evaluating initiatives. At the local area, they are
used to asses local conditions, to target resources effectively, to
provide a baseline against which future progress can be monitored, and
to set outcome targets.
Jon McGinty has recently been appointed head of the Neighbourhood
Statistics programme at ONS and he will speak on 'Neighbourhood
Statistics-Power to the People'.
This will be followed by a talk by Gary Brown of ONS and Ray Chambers of
the University of Southampton on 'Small area estimation in ONS' which
will give the results of some recent work looking at estimates of ILO
unemployment for small areas.
ALL WELCOME.
