Want to learn how the cost of living is calculated? Or where the happiest places in the UK are? What about how we measure the population?

'Bringing data to life' is a series of free online events, hosted by us at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). These events explore the life cycle of how statistics are created, from gathering the data to releasing the figures that make a difference.

We're exploring how statistics can be used to help us make better choices and improve our public services. Everything from health and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the environment and migration.

You will hear from people who work with data across government, exploring:

  • the difference between data and statistics

  • how statistics are created

  • where statistics have made an impact

You can also take part in quizzes, ask questions, and share your thoughts.

The webinars are free and open to anyone who is curious about data and how statistics are created. They will also be recorded and shared on YouTube for you to watch later.
