With re-prioritisation of workloads during Coronavirus (COVID-19), this project was paused. We will provide an update on this work in due course.
The statistics will be developed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with input from a wide range of users, including other government departments and external stakeholders, and the Social Metrics Commission.
The department is keen to receive feedback from users on what they would like to see included in the new report and what their priorities would be. This feedback can be considered as we develop the new publication. Email your feedback to: team.povertystats@dwp.gov.uk.
