Dear Ed,

REQUESTING ASSESSMENTS OF ONS OFFICIAL STATISTICS AS NATIONAL STATISTICS

I am writing as Deputy Head of Profession for Statistics at the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

In accordance with Section 12(1) of the Statistics and Registration Act 2007, I would be grateful if your Assessment Team can assess the following publications against the Code of Practice for Statistics for National Statistics designation:

• Deaths in the care sector, England and Wales
• Financial Survey of Pension Schemes, UK

The provisional timetable for assessments has these scheduled to take place during Spring 2022. We look forward to working with your team.

I am copying this request to Pete Benton, Deputy National Statistician for Health, Population and Methods, and Michael Keoghan, Deputy National Statistician for the Economic, Social and Environmental statistics Group (ESEG) at ONS.

Yours sincerely,

Rachel Skentelbery
Deputy Head of Profession for Statistics, Office for National Statistics
