Why have a Statistician in the CHMA?• Housing Need & Demand Assessments (HNDAs) need a robust
evidence-base
• The HNDA Guidance encourages local authorities to collect and analyse statistics – quite technical in parts!
• Local authorities have differing levels of analytical resource available – some more that others
• The Centre will provide local authorities with additional statistical expertise and resource if needed
![Page 5: Statistics & the CHMA Charles Brown Assistant Statistician](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815607550346895dc3ca64/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Function 1: Guidance & Advice • Provide statistics training and share best practice on the
HNDA Guidance
• Improve access to relevant national data via a dedicated ‘statistics portal’
• Advise on methodologies and techniques to help maximise the quality of HNDAs
• Provide market context material eg research on housing, regeneration, equalities etc to complement HNDAs

Function 2: Our Formal Role • Responsible for “considering” if the PROCESS used to produce HNDAs is robust
and credible
• My role - to see if the process by which HNDA statistics are produced is robust and credible - not the numbers per se
• A quality assurance process - balancing local authorities need to avoid enquiries with the need to be flexible (recognising the importance of local information and different scenarios)
• About partnership working, in the spirit of the new Concordat to achieve the best HNDAs we can
• Ongoing guidance and advice = robust and credible HNDAs
