Census Analysis Workshop 21 March 2012

10am - 4pm, Britannia Hotel, Portland Street, Manchester, M1 3LA

ONS has conducted an extensive consultation exercise on the outputs users require from the 2011 Census. To ensure maximum benefit from the Census, ONS is now in the process of developing a wider analytical work programme to supplement the outputs. The usefulness of the analysis will be limited, however, if it does not meet the needs of the user.

A workshop on analytical products will be presented to users detailing ONS' current proposals and plans for analytical products including:

• initial thoughts on analytical reports and articles that draw on Census, survey and administrative statistics, building on the 'Focus On' series produced after the 2001 Census.
• providing an Analytical Centre for the Census to promote wider analytical use of census data, promote best practice and provide a one-stop website for access to analyses drawing on Census 2011, covering both government and academic research.

Users will have the opportunity to:

• comment on the current proposals
• stimulate discussions on what analysis users would like to see produced (and indeed the analysis they have planned)
• discuss the relative priorities of these to help shape ONS census analysis work programme

This workshop will be the same as that held in London in October 2011 and will be held on 21 March 2012, 10am - 4pm, at Britannia Hotel, Portland Street, Manchester, M1 3LA
