The interviewer communities are large in number, totalling over 1,000; they are a diverse community in terms of their range of skills, capabilities, and the backgrounds they come from. Recently we have added online data collection for the Labour Market Survey and are looking to extend this technical capability to other surveys in our portfolio as part of the transformation of social statistics.
