Discovering 'Neighbourhood Statistics'

This is a 3 hour-long workshop (based in a computer lab) meant to introduce the 'Neighbourhood Statistics' website to individuals who are unfamiliar with the online tool, which is freely available.

• Brief introduction to the geographical units utilised when gathering and presenting area-level data (e.g. Census, electoral and administrative geographies);

• In-depth exploration of the main tools available on the Neighbourhood Statistics website to access area-level data (i.e. Finding Statistics, Neighbourhood Summary, Topics, Custom Searches);

• Brief discussion of how data can be presented (tables or maps);

• Additional resources (e.g. online support and face-to-face training opportunities).

Participants will be provided with a course pack including:
