Details on the UK Statistics Authority’s interventions are published in the correspondence[1], publications[2], and issues log[3] sections of their website since 2010.

The Authority’s Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) also carries out regular assessments and systemic reviews, details of which can be found on the Authority’s website[4].

In September 2018, the Authority published the first annual summary of its interventions for the financial year 2017/18[5]. The report for 2018/19 will be published in autumn 2019.
