- Gen & Sof – who we are & what we do
- Gen & Sof – who we are & what we do
- Sof The GSS covers everyone who works on stats not just statisticians, so you are probably a part of it without even knowing We are here to help you
- Gen A division created to support the GSS. Comprises multiple teams that specialise in different things Explain each team.
- Sof Lots of people think harmonisation is just the thing on the right – all questions the same etc. Harmonisation is actually all things highlighted in green We sometimes consider both output harmonisation (making sure there is guidance in outputs) and input harmonisation (making sure the questions are the same and asked the same way)

- Sof BPI has six high-level ways of supporting you. We shall go through each in turn. Firstly, setting strategic direction.
- Sof Sharing best practice. Examples of how we do this are: sharing seminars, via twitter, through our champions networks, through slack (which you are welcome to join), and through the GSS awards. Our champions networks have a presence in all government departments with a GSS HoP, and can provide tailored support and signposting to people in their department. This also allows for greater understanding of what is happening across government, and means we can share best practice.

- Gen Following the identification of an error in the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) Rough sleeping in England: autumn 2018 statistics, the Quality Centre were commissioned to undertake a review of the Quality Assurance (QA) processes in place for the statistics. The Quality Centre developed a report which identified several recommendations to improve the QA processes and prevent a similar error from occurring in the future. We’ve been working with the team since the conclusion of the project to ensure implementation of the recommendations including helping them to implement RAP in their processing of the statistics. The recommendations will feed into the next annual rough sleeping statistics which will be released on the 27th February.
- Gen The aim of this review was to understand the current data handover processes that exist between SSD and PPA and to identify recommendations to improve these processes. Quality Centre were commissioned to do this work by ONS statistical HOP (Debra Prestwood) following an issue with IPS data – migrants were not being categorised correctly following the move to data collection using tablets.

- Sof Creating tools, guidance and standards Harmonised principles are questions that have been created and tested and are used widely across government. This is a list of the overarching topics we cover. They are useful to you because they are off the shelf solutions to question design needs, meaning they save you time and give you the peace of mind that they are quality. We also provide guidance on how to use statistics, label statistics, and compare them. In recent months we have begun creating interactive tools, we suggest you take a look at the homelessness tool that explains homelessness statistics and policy across the UK.
