Recommendation 32

32 Paragraph: 110

Public involvement in personal data use decisions crucial; engagement risks declining with new data.

Conclusion
It is crucial that members of the public are involved in making decisions about how the UK chooses to use personal data in the development of its public evidence base. Traditionally, statisticians have engaged with members of the public about the use of their data in the conduct of surveys, but as officials embrace new sources of data there is a risk that this important dialogue falls away.
