Matching Administrative Data • Administrative Data can have huge analytical potential beyond the scope of individual datasets. • Higher coverage and lower cost than surveys. • Particularly useful for longitudinal studies. • Promoting the use of Unique Identifiers for matching across administrative system is hugely important
National Data Infrastructure • The CSO has a formal role in promoting the use of unique identifiers for people, addresses and businesses across the administrative system. • Benefits of the National Data Infrastructure (NDI): • Unlock potential of administrative data • Improve existing statistical products & facilitate new innovative outputs • Allow networks to address shared problems
National Data Infrastructure Implementation of NDI • Governance supports • ‘Top down’ activities – Civil Service Management Board, NDI ‘champions’ • Partnership activities – ‘pathfinder projects’ and CSO in-house partnerships • Rolling out the IGSS in the civil service
