HQ Function

Serves as the primary administrative centre, housing major data processing facilities, statistical production teams, research and methodology units, and dissemination services.

A large, modern government office complex designed to support extensive data handling operations, secure information management, and collaborative work for its statisticians, researchers, and operational staff.

Work Culture:

The work culture at ONS is highly professional, analytical, and data-centric, with a strong emphasis on accuracy, impartiality, and public service. It fosters a collaborative environment focused on producing evidence-based insights and upholding statistical integrity.

HQ Significance:

The Newport headquarters is central to the UK's statistical infrastructure, coordinating the production and release of critical national data that informs government, businesses, and the public.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters' design and operations reflect ONS's core values: Radical, Ambitious, Inclusive, Sustainable, and Secure, underpinning its commitment to high-quality, trustworthy statistics.

Location:

The Office for National Statistics is primarily focused on producing statistics for the United Kingdom. However, it plays an active role in the international statistical community. ONS collaborates with international organisations such as the United Nations (UN), OECD, Eurostat (for comparative purposes and historical data alignment), and other national statistical offices. This engagement ensures UK statistics are internationally comparable, adhere to global standards, and allows ONS to share best practices and contribute to the development of statistical methodologies worldwide. ONS does not operate global offices for service delivery but its expertise and data are globally relevant.
