The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is transforming the way its surveys collect data. It is introducing an online mode, and designing for a web-first approach to mixed-mode collection, which brings challenges and opportunities.
This free webinar, organised by the UK Data Service in association with the Social Research Association, will be presented by Alex Nolan, a Senior Research Officer at ONS. Alex will describe how ONS is developing a respondent-centric approach to moving labour market survey data collection online.
The webinar:
describes the principles of the Government Digital Service that underpin the ONS's approach
describes the qualitative development that has taken place so far
discusses the evidence on the effectiveness of this approach from recent online quantitative surveys
The webinar will consist of a 40 minute presentation followed by 20 minutes for questions.
Level: Introductory/Intermediate
Experience/Knowledge required: Basic understanding of surveys. This webinar is likely to be of most interest to those who are familiar with the LFS or other large surveys
Target audience: Anyone with an interest in understanding the LFS transformation programme and the approach the ONS is using to transform its surveys from interview to online surveys
