NRS Beyond 2011 Website
11/05/2012National Records for Scotland have just released a ‘Beyond 2011’ website. In September 2011 the Beyond 2011 project was set up in Scotland to investigate alternative (to the traditional census) methods for delivering population and socio-demographic statistics in Scotland. A similar programme is already underway for England and Wales by the Office for National Statistics and the Registrar General for Northern Ireland will begin their own assessment following the release of the initial 2011 Census results.
NRS will not begin a formal consultation until Spring/Summer 2013 but interested parties can address any queries to: beyond2011@gro-scotlond.gsi.gov.uk.

ONS Roadshow Q&As
10/01/2012ONS have published the Questions and Answers (pdf) from the September Operations to Outputs roadshows. Responses to the 122 questions covering topics including: the address register, field operations, online services and outputs.
In addition to the ONS response to Q117:
“What is happening with SASPAC (Small Area Statistical Package) data?”
The ONS response was: “SASPAC is a separate body to ONS. We are working with them and they will continue to get census data.”
We can add that SASPAC is indeed a partner working with ONS to help them develop the online data delivery systems and are in the process of developing a new SASPAC application to access the 2011 outputs. Interested users can keep up to date with progress reports and development activity through this site and by registering your email address in the menu to the right of this blog.
