The Centre for Public Data

The Centre for Public Data is a new non-profit working for stronger public data.

We work with policymakers to identify data gaps, and help organisations get the data they need.

Our work areas

Data in policy

Improving data provisions in policy and legislation

Data gaps

Identifying important questions that public data and statistics cannot answer

Data infrastructure

Strengthening data infrastructure to support civil society and business

Our current projects

Trust transparency

We’re calling on the Government to treat trusts the same as it treats all other landowners.

Freeing address data

We’re calling on the Government to provide an accurate and freely accessible database of all UK postal addresses.

Statistical reform

We want to ensure that UK statistics answer the important questions, so we’re calling for reform of the statistics system.

How to spot data gaps

We’ve developed a new method to spot data gaps and make them more visible: by analysing unanswered Parliamentary Questions.
