Services offered by the MCS
The main services are:
Ad hoc project requests for methodological assistance - this is the mainstay of the consultancy service. Work can be funded on an individual project basis or by call off contract.
Pre- and post-assessment support - a methodological health check for statistical outputs, helping departments to prepare for UK Statistics Authority assessments. The MCS can also assist with any methodological development work surfacing as a result of an assessment.
Delivery of a statistical training programme - the MCS (jointly with the ONS Statistical Training Unit) has developed a programme of statistical training for delivery to staff across the Government Statistical Service (GSS).

Bespoke statistical training courses - in order to meet the diverse needs of different departments across the GSS, the service offers a tailored approach to the design and delivery of statistical training courses. Our team of trainers and consultants will work with you to establish your needs and to find a training solution that works best for you.
