The Office for National Statistics (ONS) have created a toolkit of communication resources to help increase the public’s understanding of how data and statistics are used to benefit local communities.

Understanding Patient Data has compiled a summary of research and resources exploring public attitudes towards health data. Topics include trust in different organisations, opinions on decision-making, opt-out and choice, and how views differ among different groups of people.

This resource provides accessible introductory information to administrative data, including animations, a glossary and further reading to help inform the public of what administrative data is and how it can be utilised for public good.
