January 2026

Royal Statisticians for Society

Have now joined the Public Statistics Advisory Group.  It's there to help "develop the Society's policy on official statistics".  That's a bit general, so will update as things happen.

Completed voluntary work for charity Community One Stop Shop.  25th February, take part in project assessment though RSS.

LARIA website

As agreed by LARIA (Local Research and Intelligence Agency) Council have spoken to potential developer and putting together a more precise description of what needs doing.

Meeting with Local Authorities

Last one on 20th January.  It's Local Authorities across England, which I set up through LARIA so they could simply check in with others on what they do and how they do it.  This was to look at consultation on topics for 2031 Census.  Next 21st April.

Public health funerals

Out of curiosity, looking at "the online registers of record of funerals undertaken by  local authorities".  Starting with East of England.  Interest and discussion with Local Government Association and University of Southampton.
