Workshop on Statistical Disclosure Control

• August 15 2018, hosted by The Health Foundation

This Workshop will bring together staff who undertake statistical disclosure control checks on statistical results produced from confidential sources of data.  The purpose of the Workshop will be to:

• identify challenges with the practice of checking and releasing statistics
• managing requests from analysts and researchers
• develop 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.**
