#DataLiteracy
In short, it’s ‘the ability to think critically about data in different contexts and examine the impact of different approaches when collecting, using and sharing data and information’, rather than the technical skills required in working with data
I’ve been looking at what various government documents say about data literacy (& those more technical data skills).

Here at @ifgevents #IFGDataBites event. I’ll tweet but try to keep it to high level synthesis and summary, unless I get very excited! 1/
@ifgevents 2/ first up is @catbrom from @UKStatsAuth. She's raising question about how trust in official statistics can be maintained in a world of data abundance. Interestingly it's not just regulation, but pushing for more, better use of data #IFGDataBites
@ifgevents @catbrom @UKStatsAuth 3/ it's also about more than just safeguarding data, but demonstrating how that is being done, more #Transparency, and demonstrating the value of the data to the public. Critically this means involving the public in the conversations about data use #IFGDataBites
