Next steps

We will monitor work towards the recommendations made in this report over the next year and provide a public update on progress after this point. We will continue to deal with issues relating to intelligent transparency through our casework. We will also continue to support public bodies to comply with the Standards for the Public Use of Statistics, Data and Wider Analysis by delivering training and targeted support and highlighting areas of good practice. Finally, we are exploring ways in which we could more proactively and systematically monitor compliance with the new standards, for example through public report cards.
