User Engagement Survey

SDS would like to understand how our Modern Apprenticeship Official Statistics publications are being used and whether we are currently meeting user needs within our remit as a producer of Official Statistics. We have opened a user engagement survey, if you would like to take part please access the link here.

Code of Practice 

SDS has been a producer of Official Statistics since December 2019. We follow the Code of Practice for Statistics.

The Code of Practice for Statistics is based on three pillars:

• Trustworthiness – through commitments to clear, orderly publication of statistics
• Quality – of outputs
• Value – of the insight provided

The public value of statistics is at the heart of the Code. By complying with the Code, SDS demonstrates that:

• We are ethical and honest in using any data
• We have a strong culture of professional analysis
• We respect evidence
• We are open and transparent about the strengths and limitations of our statistics
• We communicate accurately, clearly and impartially
• We are committed to engaging publicly to understand user needs
