While numbers don’t lie, it’s well known that they can be manipulated to fit a story. Can you tell when it’s happening?
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) are running a webinar that they describe as eye-opening and will do a deep dive into the world of statistical misuse.
It will look at how the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) investigates statistical misuse, how the ONS publish statistics in different formats to provide clarity and transparency, and how the ONS works to make sure its statistics are fairly and accurately reported in the news.
The webinar is an interactive session that will be held on Microsoft Teams.
It will run on Tuesday, 25 February 2025, starts at 4pm and will last an hour. If you can’t make the live session, then a recording will be added to the ONS YouTube channel for later viewing.
