Our data principles

The data principles are a set of standards that we as a public body set and adhere to, to hold ourselves accountable for our approach to data. They’re reviewed annually and updated when necessary.

In terms of our research and data, we will:

• Be clear on what we want to measure and how we will do so.
• Be a dynamic and responsible collector and user of data, applying both current legislation and open data principles.
• Use research to improve our understanding of what the public and our stakeholders want, and to learn from others, both within and outside of the cultural sector.
• Ensure that any research we undertake is readily available for use by others.
