We are responsible for publishing a wide range of statistics on the population and households in Scotland. The Demography Division Statistics Plan 2009-10 highlights our priorities, publications and improvement activities for 2009-10.
It also reports on progress we made against last year’s plan (The Scottish Statistics Plan 2008-09 Population and Migration).
Our statistics planning is a continuous process and we place strong emphasis on taking into account the views of the people who use our data. Details of how to provide us with comments are included in the introduction to the plan.
You can find out more about, who we are and what we do, the services we endeavour to provide and what you the customer can expect from us in Our Standard of Service - Statistical and Geographical Services.
A number of statistics on this website are National Statistics publications. Further information can be found on the Statistical Services in Scotland page.
The Statement of Compliance set out how the Scottish Administration implements the previous National Statistics Code of Practice and its associated Protocols. This is being reviewed in light of the introduction of the new Code of Practice for Official Statistics. All breaches are reported on our Breaches of the Code of Practice page.
Data Access and Confidentiality
The Statement of Compliance with the National Statistics Code of Practice and Protocols (PDF format - 38 Kb) sets out the arrangements that GROS have put in place to protect the security of our data holdings and guarantee that no individual can be identified from our statistics unless agreed with them.
It also set out how GROS will obtain maximum value from our micro-data by extending access to our bona-fide and authorised third parties

ScotStat is a network for users and providers of Scottish Official statistics.
