Who we are
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics. We are also the UK’s recognised national statistical institute. Read more about us on the ONS website (opens in a new tab)
We are one of the organisations that make up the UK statistical system. These guidelines are mainly for the ONS, though there are related brands.
Brand family
The UK statistical system is formed of a group of independent statutory bodies, and so the organisations do not follow GOV.UK branding. The brand family is made up of:
- UK Statistics Authority: responsible for overseeing the UK statistical system
- Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR): independent regulatory arm of the Authority
- Office for National Statistics (ONS): largest producer of official statistics in the UK and its national statistical institute
- Government Statistical Service (GSS): community for those working in the collection, production and communication of official statistics
- Data Science Campus: organisation within ONS that builds data science capability
