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).

We have corrected four errors in this release. Tables 1 to 13 and 17 The first was found in March to April 2020 data in Tables 1 to 13 and Table 17. The previous version was based on processed data, which excluded the time spent doing 5 of the 72 activities listed: Helping, caring and looking after adults Browsing things to then buy later Finding guidance on internet, for example, YouTube or websites Assistance of others online, for example, forum Support of a cause on social media or petition website This has now been fixed. Tables 1 to 12 and 14 The second was found in September to October 2020 data in Tables 1 to 12 and Table 14. In the previous version, data for the activities of “Attending a religious event or meeting” and “Attending formal education, lectures, classes, university (not for leisure)” were switched around. This affected both the lower-level estimates in Table 14 and the aggregated estimates for “Entertainment, socialising and other free time” and “Study” across other tables. This has now been fixed. Tables 1 to 12 The third was found in March to April 2020 data, September to October 2020, and March to April 2021 data in Tables 1 to 12. The “Window shopping” activity was assigned to the aggregated category of “Entertainment, socialising and other free time” instead of “Unpaid household work (excluding travel and childcare)”, as shown in the Activity Categorisation tab. This has now been fixed. Tables 1 to 12, 16 and 17 The fourth was found in March 2022 data in Tables 1 to 12 and Tables 16 to 17. The previous version was based on incorrect survey weights, which took account of weekday diaries only. The weights should have taken account of both weekday and weekend diaries. This has now been fixed. These happened because of human errors. We apologise for any misunderstanding.
