Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Correction See correction
We have corrected an error in table 2 of the 2021 edition of this dataset (Top 100 names for baby boys, England, 2021). The previous version of this table showed two entries for the name Mohammed. The second entry was a duplicate and it was displayed in error. It has been deleted in this corrected edition of the 2021 dataset. This happened because of a technical fault when producing the table.
