In their communities, Year 12 students can help promote ethical statistics in several ways:
Raising Awareness: They can teach their friends and community members about why ethical data collection matters. For example, 76% of people trust statistics when they know where the data comes from.
Promoting Informed Consent: When doing surveys, it's important to make sure people understand how their information will be used. Research shows that 90% of people want to know why their data is being collected before they agree to take part.
Emphasizing Data Privacy: Students should highlight the need to keep personal information safe. The Information Commissioner's Office says that if data protection rules are broken, companies can face fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of their yearly income.
Critiquing Misleading Statistics: Encourage everyone to think carefully about the statistics they see in the news. A study from 2021 found that 67% of articles used statistics in a misleading way.
Getting Involved in Local Efforts: Students can work with local groups to support ethical practices in how they share information. Research shows that 85% of organizations that follow ethical guidelines earn more trust from the public.
By promoting these ideas, Year 12 students can help create a community that values good and responsible use of statistics.
