About DAERA statistics

All statistics produced by Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for Northern Ireland (DAERA) are designated as 'Official Statistics' and a subset of these are designated as 'Accredited Official Statistics'.  

The DAERA statistics charter and pre-release access statement set out how we apply the Code of Practice for Statistics and the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order (Northern Ireland) 2009 to the wide range of DAERA statistics.

The exemption to the principle of confidentiality for statistical use has been authorised by the Chief Executive of NISRA in compliance with the Official Statistics Code of Practice.

DAERAstats User Group is a user forum, set up in February 2010, to encourage statistics users from outside the Department to engage with those within DAERA who collate and disseminate statistics.
