The Department for Education has published a list of indicators to help local authorities understand the broad range of factors contributing to child poverty locally.
The Child Poverty Act 2010 requires that local authorities, in cooperation with their partners, prepare and publish an assessment of the needs of children living in poverty in their area.
The Child Poverty Unit has identified a basket of indicators to help local authorities understand the broad range of factors contributing to child poverty locally. This data tool brings together these indicators and is designed to aid analysis at local authority level.
