These reports are part of a rolling programme of quality reports that are produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to accompany statistical outputs.
The full programme of work being carried out can be found on the Quality page of the website (see Related links).
Summary Quality Reports are overview notes which pull together key qualitative information on the various dimensions of quality as well as providing a summary of methods used to compile the output.
Updated editions from April 2011 are published as Quality and Methodology Information notes.
