Good to see more journalists calling out missing data. Here is the @NewYorker’s @lizflock noting the lack of data about women imprisoned for crimes committed in self-defence. newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
It’s hard to value what we don’t measure - underlines the great injustice that we have so little data on #carers (both professional and family caregivers). Great point from the panel! #BetterCare19 @doteveryone
Ed Humpherson of office for statistics regulation says at @doteveryone #bettercare19 event that social care stands out as being the least well evaluated sector - echoes our recommendation for better data for better care
The Director General of the UK Statistics Authority highlights the public policy area with the worst missing numbers: social care.
I am responsible for regulating data across economics, employment, health and more and it is social care that stands out by far for its low quality, or even absent data. We need parity of measurement to have parity of policy. - Ed Humpherson at #bettercare19

If it were China, we would be all up in the arms, but Sweden's shutdown of income of wealth data gets unnoticed. Only individual researchers can get access to the data.
The shutdown of Swedish data is quite extraordinary. LIS cannot get any income or wealth distribution data since 2005; the World Bank gets nothing from Sweden; Sweden does not even cooperate w/OECD on wealth data (it is absent in the report linked in my previous tweet).
Universities 'in dark' over student mental health needs. Research by MP @normanlamb: "If we are operating in a fog, if we have no idea how long students are waiting... this is putting students at risk." bbc.co.uk/news/education…
May 2019 @UKStatsAuth to@ @educationgovuk “For a meaningful debate about public spending in any area, it is necessary to have a trustworthy data source. .....we note that the Department does not produce a comprehensive set of official statistics on the funding of schools.”
Exports of UK services: previously largely an economic missing number. Important new work from @ONS “measuring the invisible” - the value of services sold, all across the country. blog.ons.gov.uk/2019/09/12/mea…

Proof, disbelief, assault and a ‘gay demeanour’
5 things you should know about what's happening to LGBTQI+ people right now in UK immigration detention centres...
Again, no answers from @ukhomeoffice when asked how many #trafficking victims were held in prisons under immigration powers last year. Data nearly a MONTH overdue. This is not good enough - we shouldn't have to fight for this data. Sign the petition here ➡️change.org/supportedordep…

The missing numbers behind land options - the little-known contracts used to control land
'Land options' are private agreements that housebuilders and other firms use to control land. But we have no numbers on how widely they’re being used - even though the Government promised two years...
Missing numbers in education: "Thousands of children are ‘off the grid’ because they are being home schooled… We need to know who these children are, where they are, whether they are safe and if they are getting the education they need to succeed.” childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/2019/02/04/hug…
.@DCMS launches call for evidence for National Data Strategy. No questions on “what data are we missing”, though. gov.uk/government/pub…
"We are operating in the dark". The UK care system lacks the data to make good decisions, says a senior judge. Why is the number of children in care rocketing? "We just don’t know”. members.tortoisemedia.com/2019/06/25/fam…
