Richard Welpton (The Health Foundation) and Simon Parker (Cancer Research UK), also members of the SDAP group, delivered a session on the handbook at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) conference in The Hague in October 2019. The UNECE was established in 1947 with the aim of promoting pan-European pakistan rcs data economic integration and is one of five regional commissions of the United Nations, with others representing Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Western Asia. More than 70 international professional organizations and other non-governmental organizations take part in UNECE activities.
The session, Statistical Disclosure Control for Outputs: A Handbook received an extremely positive reception and generated much interest. So impressed was Natalia Volkow, Director of Microdata Access at the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI) in Mexico, that she kindly offered to translate the handbook into Spanish.

Why Spanish?
Firstly, it means that the handbook can be easily used by staff at INEGI itself. This is useful, as some staff there have previously argued that whilst they may be experts in processing data to produce tables, they are not experienced in checking outputs produced by others and do not fully understand what they should be looking for in an output to mitigate against potential risks of identification and/or attribution.
