Department for Culture Media and Sport
We produce a small set of official statistics outputs.
Much of the research and statistics relevant to our areas of responsibility is produced outside the department - see research links.
The DCMS Official Statistics Catalogue lists 'official statistics' produced by the DCMS and our Crown/Non-Crown bodies that are designated 'official statistics producers' under the Statistics and Registration Services Act 2007.
The Official Statistics Publication Timetable lists publication dates for these statistics, month by month to January 2012.
A list of Crown/Non-Crown bodies included under the Act can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website.
These statistics are produced according to the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
The review of our Arms Length Bodies has implications for some of the Official Statistics produced by these bodies. We are recording the impact of these closures and mergers throughout 2011 on our changes to Arms Length Bodies’ statistics page.
The DCMS Statement of Compliance (PDF 220kb) gives details of our policies and strategies that ensure that we are fully compliant with the UK Statistics Authority Code of Practice for Official statistics (2009). These include our policies on revisions, data management, user engagement and complaints.
The DCMS Statement of Administrative Sources (PDF 48kb) lists the administrative/management sources that are being used or potentially could be used in the future in the production of official statistics
The DCMS Statistical Work Plan 2010/11 (PDF 97kb) contains details of official statistics that DCMS is responsible for, and who produces them, improvements that have been made, and planned developments.
All statistics produced by DCMS can be accessed through the links in the left-hand navigator. The most recent releases of these statistics are listed below.
