This strategy will enable us to perform analysis in line with these principles by default. We will deliver it by achieving three goals: We must capitalise on the foundations we have built to deliver our vision across the civil service.

The Code of Practice for Statistics sets the standards that producers of official statistics should commit to. The Office for Statistics Regulation endorses RAP as a method which helps analysts to follow the Code. Analysts have capability and are supported to produce analysis in line with the Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP) principles. Specialist analyst programmers are embedded in teams. Why achieving the right capability matters Reproducibility is the cornerstone of analysis. Analysts should get the same results as each other when using the same data and methods.Where a form of distributional appraisal is necessary one of three possible levels of complexity may be regarded as proportionate:

Many analysts tasked with delivering RAP are unaware of the skills they will need to implement it fully. Therefore, they can find it difficult to choose the right training. They do not know about existing communities of practice or how to engage with them. The Technology code of practice criteria help government design, build and buy technology. RAP helps analyst teams comply with these criteria through open-source tools, open-source products, and enabling sharing and reuse.The Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (ESS) is a supporting document of the European Statistics Code of Practice. It contains recommendations on activities, methods and tools that facilitate the practical and effective implementation of quality. The award-winning RAP Champions practitioner network is an active and vibrant community. It is responsible for driving forward adoption of RAP principles. It has a thriving online presence where members support each other by discussing challenges and offering help. It meets several times a year to share successes and solutions. RAP Champions have implemented RAP in their organisations, set standards like the Minimum Viable Product and developed software tools for use by analysts across government. fraud risk – there are clear rules and duties of due diligence which must be adhered to when awarding purchasing contracts or other decisions (such as the awarding of grants). This must be considered at an early stage in the process of longlist analysis and the design of the proposal must take into account proportionate counter measures as set out in more detail in Annex 5. Analysts will have access to the right tools so that they can build capability and implement Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP).
