Intelligent transparency
Intelligent transparency means proactively taking an open, clear and accessible approach to the use of data, statistics and wider analysis in the public domain.
It should be the default approach so that public bodies build trust and confidence in how statistics, data and wider analysis are used and, crucially, in the policies and wider decisions based on them.
Intelligent transparency enhances the reputation of public bodies, ensures that public conversations focus on the important issues, and minimises the risk of misinterpretation or misuse of statistics.
The concept of intelligent transparency is grounded in the core principles of Trustworthiness, Quality and Value, and forms the basis of the Standards for the Public Use of Statistics, Data and Wider Analysis with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
