Workshops

• August 15th 2018, Statistical Disclosure Control, hosted by The Health Foundation

This Workshop brought together staff who undertake statistical disclosure control checks on statistical results produced from confidential sources of data.  The Workshop explored:

• identifying challenges with the practice of checking and releasing statistics
• managing requests from analysts and researchers
• developing solutions for the smooth-running of statistical disclosure control

**update:  we ran a session entitled ‘the good, the bad and the ugly of outputs’, where we each provided an example of a good and not so good experience of a statistical output request.  The examples can be found here.**
