You asked
Please confirm if the Office of Statistics Regulation (which I believe is the independent regulatory arm of the Office of National Statistics) is currently part of the Stonewall Champion Scheme, or any other scheme run by Stonewall?
If the Office of Statistics Regulation is not a current member of Stonewall Champion Scheme or any similar scheme, has it been a member in the past? Please supply dates.

Thank you for your request.
To clarify the roles of the various statistical bodies in the UK are as follows:
The Board of the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), is responsible for oversight of the statistical system
The Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR), is the regulatory arm of the UK Statistics Authority
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), is the largest producer of official statistics in the UK and the UK's National Statistical Institute
We can confirm that OSR is not, and has never been, a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme or any other schemes run by Stonewall.
