Communities and Local Government and the Royal Statistical Society are supporting the set up of a new Housing Statistics Network which is being launched at a free half day seminar at the RSS on the afternoon of 26th Feb 2010.
There is a great line up of speakers so it promises to be a very interesting event as well as an important one for kick starting the Housing Statistics Network. The lack of representation from users of housing statistics at the Statistics Users Forum has meant that this important area has lacked the opportunities for dialogue between data users and providers that have been valuable for other subjects. The RSS is therefore very keen for this initiative to succeed.
Details of the seminar, the registration form and Aims and Objectives of the HSN, along with other background information are all at http://www.msjconsultancy.co.uk/ Click on HSN in the navigation bar at the head of the page.
As part of the HSN initiative a new Internet Forum has just been established. Housing statistics users/providers are invited to use it to give feedback on the proposed HSN Aims and Objectives and to feel free to start new discussion topics. You’ll find it here: http://www.housingstatisticsnetwork.co.uk/
