Details

The strategy highlights the confirmed changes to the 2022 to 2023 questionnaire and dataset, describes the potential release of new statistics within the publication and announces any other developments, for both 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024.

The FRS release strategy is not a static document; it will be updated as plans develop, to provide users with details of latest developments.
