Statistics

DWP are now publishing most of their National Statistics via an internet Tabulation Tool. This allows users to download bespoke information designed to their needs. Click here to access the Tabulation Tool.

Other statistics which are not part of the Tabulation Tool can be accessed by clicking the "Statistics" button on the left-hand side of this page.

We have developed a guide to statistics that may be particularly useful to Local Authorities.
