Exploring the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
In this video, Doug Specht introduces the statistical resources that can be accessed from the Office for National Statistics website. These sources give a really important and vivid insight into the lives and livelihoods of people living in the UK.
As you will have seen there are two main ways of accessing the data here, raw statistics that require you to do some analysis yourself, and reports where much of the analysis has been done for you.
When you are thinking about what you need to be able to complete your own work you should consider if you can use other people’s reports, or if you will need to process that data yourself.
