This website is a guide aimed at anyone working in analysis or statistics in the Department for Education (DfE). It includes tips on best practice and learning resources across a number of areas. | ||
|
||
If viewed in its entirety, it provides a walk-through guide for statisticians from processing to publication, as well as being a single reference point that is easy to navigate if you just need to check on a specific part of the process, link off to other resources, or access specific guidance. | ||
|
||
There is already a wealth of resources out there, and therefore this site unashamedly aims to pool the relevant resources into one place. There are some things that this site does not yet have, it will develop and change over time. | ||
|
||
We hope it can prove a useful resource for everyone from the most experienced right through to those just starting out. If you have any feedback, suggested additions, or wish to challenge any of the guidance, please contact us using the envelope button in the top right corner. | ||
We hope it can prove a useful community driven resource for everyone from the most experienced analyst right through to those just starting out. If you have any feedback, suggested additions, or wish to challenge any of the guidance, feel free to use the GitHub links to suggest changes directly, or contact us at the email you can find at the bottom of the page. | ||
