Standing Committee on Road Accident Statistics - Terms of reference
Terms of Reference
The Standing Committee on Road Accident Statistics (SCRAS) was set up in 1977 to oversee the new STATS19 process for road accident data collection. It was given the following terms of reference:
- to consider problems arising in the collection of data on road accidents and make recommendations
- to disseminate information on techniques and procedures developed in connection with the system of accident reporting
- to consider any amendments to the system that may be required and make recommendations at the time of the quinquennial review
It has continued to steer the process of accident data collection since then -particularly dealing with the quinquennial reviews of the survey. The membership of the committee is drawn from a wide range of bodies and includes representatives of central government, local government and the police. The committee is chaired by DfT. A full list of members and the bodies they represent is given in the SCRAS newsletters.
