From the Office of Statistics regulation: In the context of the pandemic there are three things which governments should consistently do to support transparency: (1)

1. where data are used publicly, the sources of these data or the data themselves should be published alongside any press briefing and associated slides to allow people to understand their strengths and limitations (2)

2. where models are referred to publicly, particularly to inform significant policy decisions, the model outputs, methodologies and key assumptions should be published at the same time (3)

3. where key decisions are justified by reference to statistics or management information, the underlying data should be made available (4)

"When data and associated information are made available it should be done in an orderly way, and in a way that is equally accessible to all." (5)
