The new taxonomy
Having a common way of classifying information enables us to improve how we analyse information locally and nationally. Find out about the new taxonomy and what you need to do to start using it.
What is a taxonomy?
The taxonomy are the fields of data you collect in your feedback from the public. They consist of two main types:
- The key fields we want you to share with us
- Other optional fields, including a wider selection of demographics
Why is this taxonomy important?
This new taxonomy has been built based on you feedback as we want it to meet your needs as well as ours.
Ensuring that your taxonomy meets ours is essential for you to be able to meet the legal requirement to share your data with us.
Find out whether you need to make any changes to your existing taxonomy with our simple guide that clearly sets out the fields you need to be collecting.
