Privacy / legal specialist

Statistician
Commissioned later if needed
Not a standing launch role. A specialist is commissioned later only if the adviser and the complexity of the analysis require it.
Independent advice is not an independent study
The Life Impact Study is conducted by its sponsor, The Journey. Having an independent adviser review the work does not make it an independently conducted study, and a separate website does not either. We state our interests openly: The Journey offers the programmes being studied and has an interest in the results.
The adviser will have the right to publish dissenting commentary. The sponsor commits to publishing annual results regardless of direction. No external body has endorsed, validated or approved this study.
