Quality of Evidence, Uncertainty and Risk

Overview

🕮 Cross Civil Service

Research and evidence are critical components of the decision-making process across all parts of the Civil Service, not just the policy profession. Civil servants have access to so many sources of information that knowing which ones are most useful and reliable can prove tricky. As we find ourselves surrounded by data, being able to apply a critical eye to its real value is becoming increasingly important. After all, the quality of data which underpins a decision or policy recommendation can be a significant consideration when assessing the risks associated with it.
