CP Exclusive Standards Briefing - April

This Company Standards briefing will look at developing harmonised standards for sex and gender identity. Julie Corney, MRS Policy Manager will present a report on ONS developing harmonised standards for sex and gender identity and how this impacts existing MRS guidance.

Data on sex and gender identity are important when understanding our society. Both statistical producers and data users have told the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that they value a harmonised approach to both characteristics which allows people to effectively and accurately compare data that has been collected across different datasets. ONS has created guidance to use when applying the principles of the Code of Practice for Statistics when making decisions about the collection and reporting of statistics and data about sex and gender identity.

You'll have the chance to submit questions to the MRS experts during the webinar about the topics covered or any other professional standards issues you may have.
