Contributing

Background

WSLC meets four times a year to discuss a range of issues concerning statistical work in Wales. To find out more about the remit of the group, see the terms of reference paper. The group comprises members from across the public sector in Wales; any member can put forward agenda items, papers or news to a meeting.

Ways to contribute

Each member of the Committee may have information of relevance, and can contribute in any of the following ways:

1. Propose an agenda item
   This could take the form of a presentation or a paper could be written and a discussion started. Please forward suggestions for this at least six weeks prior to the meeting; this enables an agenda to be prepared, materials to be translated and papers to be circulated prior to the meeting.
2. Contribute an information paper
   This would not be discussed at the meeting, however it gives a chance for group members to find out more about a project/aspect of work. Completed information papers are needed four weeks prior to the meeting.
3. Contribute to the communal 'Latest News' document
   Before each meeting, an information paper is sent to members. This includes bullet points highlighting relevant news for them, e.g. highlighting the release of an important dataset or an upcoming consultation. Bullet points should not be long and are needed four weeks prior to the meeting.

How to contribute

To propose an agenda item, paper or bullet point, contact the Welsh Assembly Government, either via stats.popcensus@wales.gsi.gov.uk or on 029 2082 5808.

Please note:

1. Proposed agenda items are needed at least six weeks prior to the meeting.
2. Proposed information papers and bullet points are needed at least four weeks prior to the meeting.
