The main aim of the Time Use survey (TUS) is to measure the amount of time spent by the UK population on various activities. The UK 2000 Time Use Survey was the first time that a major

survey of this type had been conducted in the UK, and as such, provides an opportunity to inform a cross-section of policy areas as well as having interest for academia, social research centres and the advertising and retail sector. Includes participation in sporting activities and

cultural activities (2000)

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Product.asp?

vlnk=9326&More=Y

The Time Use Survey was designed, where possible, to provide results comparable with other European studies as part of a wider Harmonised European Time Use Survey. It is a household dataset and activities are coded to around 250 activity codes. In 2005 a further time use diary was collected on a much smaller scale, using a pre-coded diary as part of the NS Omnibus

survey. This data was aimed at identifying how time use was changing over the 5 year period from 2000 to 2005 the data is based on 30 activities and relates to Great Britain.

HLC is carried out at county level within two national frameworks - the Countryside Agency’s Countryside Character map and English Heritage’s Atlas of Settlement Diversity. Both subdivide the country into discrete areas, each with distinctive character. The Countryside Character Map

was produced by the Countryside Agency in collaboration with English Nature and English Heritage (Countryside Commission 1998, vols 1–3; Countryside Agency 1999, vols 4–8) and

defines the country’s landscape character by describing the scenic, natural and to a limited extent the cultural character of a single set of 159 distinctive Areas

Scheduling' is a shorthand term used to refer to the legal system for protecting and conserving nationally important archaeological site in the United Kingdom. Sites identified for scheduling are

designated by the Secretary of State as 'scheduled monuments'. Once a site is scheduled, consent must be obtained from the Secretary of State for any works which affect it. English

Heritage advises the government on individual cases for consent and offers advice on management advice, and sometimes grants may be available to help with a monument's

management.

Firstly, the researchers used a nationwide survey to test what tranquillity means to people and their perceptions of what factors were most likely to add to and to detract from their sense of experiencing tranquillity when they visited the countryside. Secondly, using a Geographical

Information Systems (GIS) model, they associated the survey information with a range of national datasets and took account of topography to create a map showing how likely each locality was to

make people feel tranquil. GIS layers included natural landscape, including woodland; rivers, streams, lakes and the sea; birds and other wildlife; wide open spaces; cars, motorbikes, trains and aircraft– and roads and railways; light pollution; towns, cities and villages; large numbers of

people; pylons, power lines, masts and wind turbines.

Cycle and walking routes, incentives and projects, numbers of users

Locations of walking and cycling routes. Also records the numbers of cyclists using the National Cycle Network. Sustrans' Route User Surveys are carried out to explore how cyclists and

pedestrians use the National Cycle Network in daily life, and to highlight the impact of specific Sustrans projects and interventions. We also have a range of exciting research partnerships

whereby we engage with top level researchers and academic institutions on a range of diverse projects.

route user surveys, manual user counts, other user surveys, and central government data sources. Measuring changes in the levels of cycling: Sustrans has been collating data from local

authority networks of automated continuous cycle counters throughout the UK for severalyears. This data is the basis for expressions of the changing levels of cycle use. A sample of over

300 counters formed the basis for this year’s change measurement. An independent review of analytical techniques employed is currently underway. Estimating total National Cycle Network use: A complex model is used to generate estimates of usage. Figures for usage on different

types of routes, combined with the figures describing changes in levels of cycling, form the basis for national level aggregation. The process used this year is consistent with that used in 2004. Pedestrian trips are only assigned to National Cycle Network use on segregated, traffic-free routes. An independent review of the model is currently under way. Profiling the use of the

Network: Profiles of National Cycle Network usage are derived from route user surveys. A further 50 of these were conducted in 2005. Sustrans holds a database of over 30,000 face-toface interviews with route users collected over the past six years. Survey response data is now

weighted on the basis of concurrent local user counts and national Network usage estimates, in line with the recommendations of an independent review of the survey process. Case studies: The case studies presented are derived from count and survey data collected by Sustrans and

CRANIUM: Climate change Risk Assessment New Impact and Uncertainty Methods

The aim of CRANIUM is to develop new methodologies for analysing uncertainty and making robust risk-based decisions for infrastructure design and management in the face of climate

change. In CRANIUM we will conduct new analysis of the uncertainties in downscaled climate scenarios, apply new methods in the analysis of system response to climate change and

evaluate a range of methods for making robust risk-based decisions. CRANIUM will demonstrate the use of these advanced methods in the context of case studies of infrastructure design and

management.

CRANIUM is developing new methodologies for analysing uncertainty and making robust risk-based decisions for infrastructure design and management in the face of climate change.We are

developing and applying new methods for analysing uncertainties in key climate variables, for example rainfall and temperature, and demonstrating how these climate changes impact upon the

performance of infrastructure systems, including railways and hydro-electric power.We are developing methods to enable this type of analysis to be carried out faster, more robustly and

comprehensively. Finally we are investigating with stakeholders how, in the light of these insights, decision making about operation of, or investment in, infrastructure systems can be

managed or modified to reflect potential climate change impacts and in particular the uncertainties surrounding them.


GENESIS: A Generic Process for Assessing Climate Change Impacts on the Electricity Supply Industry and

Utilities

This project is examining climate change impacts on the electricity supply industry. The first stage of the project has involved identifying the key climate change impacts for the electricity

supply industry and to identify what work has already been done in this area. A number of models have been developed to assess changing patterns in energy use and have since been

applied to the problem of assessing the impact of climate change, e.g. MARKAL. This project will build on the work that has been done using these models. Climate impact studies have

concentrated on the potential increase in building cooling requirements, e.g. air-conditioning and this provides a useful starting point for the project.Work has begun on assessing the climate

change impacts on wind power generation.

This project will develop a generally applicable methodology for assessing the impact of climate change on the performance of the electricity supply industry. The generic assessment process

will provide the currently missing integrating framework that is essential if the many technical and business risks that climate change may impose on the electricity supply industry are to be

properly mediated and managed. The study concentrates on two exemplar aspects, namely: the impact on electricity consumption patterns and the impact on wind power generation. The first of these involves the development of a demand forecasting model on different timescales and for different classes of consumer, i.e. domestic, commercial and industrial. Consumer demand is

seen as the key driver to the systems model which will be developed, characterising the response of the ESI in terms of a number of Key Performance Indicators devised following discussions with

industry stakeholders.

The Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England, has existed since the 1980s and now contains over 1500 sites. The Register serves to ensure that the features and

qualities which make these landscapes of national importance can be safeguarded. Each site is graded into three bands to give added guidance on their significance; grade I have international

importance; grade II* are considered to be of exceptional historic interest and grade II are of national importance. Inclusion of a historic park or garden on the Register in itself does not bring

additional statutory controls, local authorities are required by central government top make provision for the protection of the historic environment in their policies and their allocation of

resources.

Diversification is widely held to offer considerable scope for improving the economic viability of many farm businesses. Many farm diversification activities can also provide benefits for the wider

rural economy and community by, for example, encouraging and providing additional job opportunities. Defra has been active in analysing a number of sources of data on diversification.

The aim of this publication is to bring together the latest information from the various diversification data sources. This is the forth diversification publication of this type since 2004.

Earlier diversification publications can be found at the following link: http://statistics.defra.gov.uk/esg/publications/diversification.asp. This publication incorporates first release Farm Business Survey results for 2005-06 and Survey Personal Income results for 2003-04 which appeared in the 2006 diversification publication.

The Building Research Establishment (BRE) carried out a National Noise Incidence Survey (NIS) during 2000 and 2001 to collect data on noise levels outside homes in the United Kingdom [1]. This involved measuring noise levels outside 1,160 dwellings over 24 hour periods spread over

the course of the year. Table 6.1 shows the population exposure to noise levels of at least 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 dB, over different periods of time. Noise levels (L) were calculated using three

measures LAeq, LA10 and LA90. LAeq measures the average noise level over the whole time period, LA10 is the noise level exceeded for 10 per cent of the time period, giving a measure of the peaks in fluctuating noise levels and LA90 is the noise level exceeded for 90 per cent of the

time, giving a measure of the background noise present.

Best Value Performance Indicators - General Satisfaction with Local Authority and Street Cleanliness

The Best Value survey-based indicators are collected by Local Authorities in England every 3 years and supplied to the Audit Commission. After being audited, the information is then passed

to ODPM (the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, formerly the Department. The General Survey, from which these data are taken, used a random probability sample of all resident adults

(aged 18 and over) from each Local Authority in England. The size of the population to be surveyed (i.e. the number of residents living in the authority aged 18 or over) was not taken into

account when assessing the size of sample required to ensure a given level of statistical reliability (as measured by the confidence interval figure). Theoretically this calculation could

have been adjusted where the population being surveyed was very small, but for the purposes of clarity, comparability and simplicity all authorities were required to meet a minimum sample size of 1,100. It should be noted that no maximum sample size was specified. Include satisfaction of street cleaniless, performance of LA, satisfaction of tenants of council housing with opportunities for participation in management and decision making in relation to housing services provided by

their landlord, details on satisfaction with recreational and cultural provisions information on overall satisfaction from the General Survey information on satisfaction with maintaining

The information presented here provides an update to the indicator used in the generation of the Indices of Deprivation 2004 developed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre of the

University of Oxford on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), now known as DCLG. The indicator is provided for comparison with the original indicator but does not constitute part of an updated index. This is an update to one of the indicators from the ‘Barriers to Housing and Services Domain’, ‘Wider Barriers Sub-Domain’. If a person cannot afford to own a home, it

is likely to limit housing and location choice, including in some cases the ability to set up a separate household, and will limit the opportunity to build up assets. In addition, home-ownership affordability reflects the key drivers of house prices relative to incomes, and these can be shown

to be powerful predictors (or proxies) for more severe housing affordability problems, for example living in inadequate accommodation, living in poverty after housing costs, being unable

to maintain housing payments, and becoming homeless.



1 Variable. The original Indices including the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index, together with many of their underlying

indicators are published on the Neighbourhood Statistics website. House prices were based primarily upon the Survey of Mortgage Lending (SML) for 2004. For the direct estimates of average and marginal affordability at sub-regional level, the primary source was the Family

Resources Survey (FRS) for all income and household composition information, linked at local authority level to the house prices determined as above. The FRS data were drawn from three years of the survey (1998/99 to 2001/02), with the different years’ income figures re-priced to a 2004 basis using Treasury/ONS indicators. For estimating local authority level affordability rates consistent with these FRS-based sub-regional values, the primary source of local income figures

was the LA-level average of the ONS ward level income estimates for 2002. The ONS local income figures were based on a modelling procedure but controlled for consistency with FRS at

regional level.

Starting in the South East, which was covered through the London Area Transport Survey (LATS), all stations in Great Britain have been surveyed on weekdays outside school holiday periods during the period 2000-2005. Data is collected from passengers by self-completion questionnaire, and passenger counts are carried out at the same time to give details of the

volume of people using each station. This enables the survey responses to be weighted up to represent all rail passengers. About 500,000 questionnaires will be collected in total. Final

outputs, which will only be available when the data from all regions are combined to form the complete database, should become available towards the end of 2006. The questionnaire asks

for details of the whole trip, including all the stations used, the access and egress modes and the origin and destination addresses and purposes. This is supported by ticketing and demographic information. During the LATS element of the survey, 300,000 questionnaires were returned, from

approximately 900 stations.

The data in this report are taken from the results of the National Travel Survey (NTS) and relate to journeys made and distances travelled every year. The information is broken down by

participants' personal characteristics - age, working status, whether they held a driver's licence and general household details (such as income and car availability).

The NTS has been a continuous survey since 1988 following ad-hoc surveys from 1965 to 1985/1986. Up to 2001 it covered about 3,500 households per year and data are normally

aggregated over 3 years to produce a sample size with sufficiently robust estimates. The sample size has been almost trebled from 2002 onwards. Update results are published annually in the

Transport Statistics Bulletin - National Travel Survey Update and a fuller report published every 3 years in Focus on Personal Travel. Unpublished tables from the NTS can be obtained from the

DfT on request.

It is part of a continuous survey that began in July 1988, following ad hoc surveys since the

mid-1960s

Annual statistical series 1979 to 1996/7; provides estimates of patterns of personal disposable income and of changes in income over time from the Family Resources Survey (sample size

approximately 26,000), and prior to 1993/4, the Family Expenditure Survey. It attempts to measure people's potential living standards as determined by disposable income. HBAI counts individuals, not households. Income in HBAI data refers to disposable household income, i.e. income after the deduction of income tax, National Insurance contributions, local government

taxes and certain other deductions

covered due to data limitations. These are the first local authority Health Profiles covering the whole of England. They have been produced by Public Health Observatories and will be updated

every year. The aims of the profiles are: To provide a consistent, concise, comparable and balanced overview of the population’s health that informs local needs assessment, policy, planning, performance management, surveillance and practice. To be a distillate of the

absolutely key, most useful (currently available) indicators (with a reference to new data/indicators and unavailable data/indicators). To be primarily of use to joint efforts between local government and the health service to improve health and reduce health inequalities, but

ultimately to empower the wider community The local authority Health Profiles for England were produced in April 2006. The profiles are available in both web based (pdf) and hard copy reports. The audience includes healthcare and public health professionals and local authority members

and officers. The profiles describe the health of the local population and enable comparison local, regionally and nationally as well as over time. It is hoped that they will be used for action

The Community Innovation Survey (CIS) is a survey conducted every 4 years by EU member states that allows the monitoring of Europe’s progress in the area of innovation. The UK

Innovation Survey 2005, the fourth Europe-wide CIS, is the largest so far conducted, sent to 28,000 UK enterprises with 10 or more employees and achieving a 58 per cent response rate. It

provides the UK data covering the three-year period from 2002 to 2004

http://www.dti.gov.uk/innovation/innovation-statistics/cis/

page10957.html

Measuring the level of innovation activity in the UK and identifying where policy might be best targeted contributes to the pursuit of that objective. The Community Innovation Survey

complements other indicators of innovativeness by providing a regular snapshot of innovation inputs and outputs and the constraints faced by UK businesses in their innovation efforts, across the range of UK industries and business enterprises. It has the additional benefit of providing the

basis for some comparisons with other European countries.

From 2001 the BCS has moved to an annual cycle, with a planned 40,000 respondents interviewed per year, including a 3,000 ethnic boost. The fieldwork is organised by BMRB Social Research. The BCS asks adults in private households about their experience of victimisation in the previous year. As well as the main crime counting element, a number of other crime-related issues are covered. The BCS measures the amount of crime in England and Wales by asking

people about crimes they have experienced in the last year. The BCS includes crimes which are not reported to the police, so it is an important alternative to police records. Victims do not report crime for various reasons. Without the BCS the government would have no information on these

unreported crimes. The BCS looks at people’s attitudes to crime, such as how much they fear crime and what measures they take to avoid it. The BCS looks at people’s attitudes to the

Criminal Justice System, including the police and the courts.

The BCS measures the amount of crime in England and Wales. This includes crimes which may not have been reported to the police, or recorded by them. It thus provides an important

alternative to police recorded crime statistics. Without the BCS the government would have no information on these unreported crimes. The BCS also helps identify those most at risk of

different types of crime. This is used in designing and informing crime prevention programmes. It is also used to assess people's attitudes to crime and towards the Criminal Justice System. It is one of the major sources of information about levels of crime, public attitudes to crime and other

Home Office issues

The British Crime Survey (BCS) moved to an annual cycle from 2001/02, with over 50,000

interviews of people aged 16 or over now taking place per year.

Previous sweeps of the BCS were in 1982, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2001.

The Citizenship Survey is a biennial survey, designed to contribute to the evidence base for the Home Office’s community policy area. The survey is currently in its third year. It was also run in

level. In 2003 there were supplementary booster samples of: 1,032 children (eight and nine-year-olds), 1,666 young people (10 to 15-year-olds); and 20 local areas. The survey is designed

around four modules. This ensures a unique degree of flexibility, allowing the survey to respond to evolving policy requirements. The modules are (1) Neighbourhood: information on whether

people know, socialise with and trust their neighbours; how people feel about their neighbourhood; collective efficacy and social capital. This feeds into the Home Office's Active

Community Unit and Community Cohesion Unit. New questions in 2005 cover fear of crime, taken from the British Crime Survey (2) Active communities: information on civic participation, informal and formal volunteering, including frequency, intensity, duration and barriers. This is central to the work of the Active Community Unit and Public Service Agreement 8 (link to Treasury website). It also includes information on charitable giving. (3) Racial prejudice and discrimination: information on perceptions of racial prejudice in Britain and perceptions of discrimination by public and private sector organisations. This provides core information for the Race Equality Unit. New questions in

2005 cover religious prejudice and discrimination, which provides information for the Faith

A national longitudinal, self-report offending survey for England and Wales. The survey, covering people living in private households aims to examine the extent of offending, anti-social behaviour and drug use among the household population, particularly among young people aged from 10

to 25. The survey covers offences against households, individuals and businesses. In addition to ‘mainstream’ offences such as burglary, shoplifting and assault, it also covers fraud and

technology offences. The survey also collect longitudinal data (that is information from the same individuals over time) to allow researchers to examine the pathways into and out of delinquency

and the impact various risk and protective factors have on these pathways.

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/offending_survey.html

The survey gathers evidence to support the effective targeting of resources for reducing levels of crime and illegal drug use. It provides: measures of self-reported offending; indicators of repeat offending; trends in the prevalence of offending; trends in the prevalence and frequency of drug and alcohol use; evidence on the links between offending and drug / alcohol use; evidence on the risk factors related to offending and drug use; and information on the nature of offences committed, such as the role of co-offenders and the relationship between perpetrators and victims. The OCJS also covers the personal victimisation of children and young people. The

British Crime Survey, the national crime victimisation survey for England and Wales, only covers adults aged 16 and over.

ACORN which is the first geodemographic segmentation tool developed in the UK is built using a wide range of data sources including the 2001 census and CACI’s consumer lifestyle databases

which cover 46 million adults and 23 million households. ACORN groups the entire UK population into 5 categories e.g. “comfortably off”, 17 groups e.g. “secure families” and 56 types e.g.

“working families with mortgages”.

provides all residential postcodes allocated to one of 58 different categories (e.g. “young and older households in housing association and mortgaged homes”). The categories are then

aggregated into 10 groups in GB and Northern Ireland (e.g. “poorer family and single parent households”). Using 2001 census, household council tax band and property value data,

consumer credit data and various other data sources, CAMEO also includes an international classification which enables users to link the national specific code to a range of countries,

providing the means of comparing consumer types across the global marketplace.



CAMEO Investor is a unique postcode scoring model, which has been developed for assessing wealth and financial sophistication. Built from over 13 million actual and up-to-date FT Top 500 Shareholder Registers, the classification offers seven groups ranging from “serious investor” to

“disinterested investor” and each postcode is allocated to one of 43 investor types such as “interested investor retired homeowners”.

The number of children of school age in the United Kingdom has fluctuated due to factors such as changes in the birth rate, and the raising of the school-leaving age in 1972. The declining

birth rates during the late 1970s led to a fall in pupil numbers in the 1980s and early 1990s. Pupil numbers increased to 2000/01, but have declined since then, and are still below the peak level

of the mid-1970s

In 1988/89 interviews were carried out with a nationally representative sample of 3,543 adults aged between 55-69 who were living in private households in Great Britain. Additionally,

interviews were carried out with just over 600 spouses who were not in the 55-69 year old age range. Respondents were selected from the small users postcode file, and sample of

households with eligible individuals(s) were identified by post/interviewer sift. In 1994 about two thirds of the sample (2,248 individuals) were re-interviewed. Individuals were not re-interviewed in 1994 either because they had died (11%) or because of non-response, that is they refused to participate or they were not contactable. Non-response to the 1994 wave amounted to a quarter

of the 1988/89 respondents. In addition 209 spouses were also interviewed.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a quarterly sample survey of households living at private addresses in Great Britain. Its purpose is to provide information on the UK labour market that

can then be used to develop, manage, evaluate and report on labour market policies. The questionnaire design, sample selection, and interviewing are carried out by the Social and Vital Statistics Division of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on behalf of the Statistical Outputs

Group of the ONS

These data were derived from the Annual Employment survey (AES) which ran each September to 1998. The figures represent the number of filled jobs that are actually located within the area

shown. The numbers are rounded to the nearest 100 and Standard Industrial Classification 0100 Agriculture, hunting and related service activities, has been excluded throughout. Recently, the AES was replaced by the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) and AES estimates for 1995, 1996 and

1997 were re-scaled to the higher levels of jobs detected by the latter.



3 Variables. The AES used local unit information from some 64,000 enterprises to estimate the total employee jobs in Great Britain. (By comparison the ABI is a sample-based survey of the

same businesses that are asked to supply economic data for the National Accounts. Undertaken in mid-December each year the survey collects data from 78,000 reporting units of enterprises and covers employee jobs; directors; working proprietors; male and female employees; and full

and part time jobs. The employment total is estimated from the sample returns using a modelling technique that relies on local unit data held on the Inter-departmental Businesses Register

(IDBR)).

The data presented here show the percentage of people who were employed in 2004, as a proportion of the working age population. The data presented cover England and Wales, at Local

Authority / District (LAD), Government Office Region (GOR), and country level. The number of people with jobs is measured through the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS is a household

survey, which provides information on the UK labour market that can be used to develop, manage, evaluate and report on labour market policies. The questionnaire design, sample

selection, and interviewing are carried out by the Social and Vital Statistics Division of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on behalf of the ONS Statistical Outputs Group.The data are

expressed as a proportion of the working age population (the denominator), which includes people aged between 16 and retirement age (60 for women and 65 for men). The population

figures are obtained using mid-year population estimates, which are produced annually by the ONS Population Estimates Unit (PEU).



1 Variable. The questionnaire design, sample selection, and interviewing are carried out by the Social and Vital Statistics Division of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on behalf of the Statistical Outputs Group of the ONS. The LFS seeks information on respondents' personal

circumstances and their labour market status during a specific reference period, normally a period of one week or four weeks (depending on the topic) immediately prior to the interview. The LFS questionnaire itself comprises a 'core' of questions which are included in every survey, together with 'non-core' questions which vary from quarter to quarter. The questionnaire can be split into

two main parts. The first part contains questions on information about household, family structure, basic housing information and demographic details of individuals in the households. The second part contains questions covering economic activity, education, health etc. and also includes a few questions asked on behalf of other government departments. The LFS is based on a systematic

random sample design, which makes it representative of the whole of Great Britain. Each quarter’s LFS sample of 60,000 private households is made up of 5 ‘waves’, each of

approximately 12,000 households. Each wave is interviewed in 5 successive quarters, such that in any one quarter, one wave will be receiving their first interview, one wave their second, and so on, with one wave receiving their fifth and final interview. As a result, there is an 80% overlap in

the samples for successive quarters. Households are interviewed face-to-face when first included in the survey, and by telephone thereafter.

Population estimates, and supporting documentation are

available via the Neighbourhood Statistics Service, and elsewhere

on the ONS website

The following variables provide a snapshot of the levels of homelessness households in temporary accommodation and taken on the 31 March 2004: Total homeless households in

temporary accommodation at 31 March; Homeless households in bed and breakfast accommodation at 31 March; Percentage of total homeless households in temporary

accommodation in Bed and Breakfast (B&B) at 31 March; Mean length of stay in B & B accommodation (days). The remaining variables in the dataset cover the period 1 April 2004 to

31 March 2005. The dataset was taken from the 'Housing Investment Programme' (HIP), 'Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix' (HSSA), and the P1E quarterly homelessness returns provided by each LA. The dataset summarises key aspects of the HSSA for all the 354 LAs in

England. All LAs completed their HSSA return and 334 LAs completed all four quarterly homelessness returns



16 Variables. This dataset includes the total number of homeless acceptances, homeless acceptances as a proportion (%) of total households on the LA Housing Register, count of

homeless households in temporary accommodation, homeless households in bed and breakfast accommodation, homeless households in bed and breakfast accommodation as a proportion (%) of the total number of homeless households in temporary accommodation, mean length of stay in

bed and breakfast accommodation, and counts of LA dwellings let to homeless households in priority need. The dataset also includes counts of intentionally and unintentionally homeless with

a breakdown by ethnicity and counts of intentionally and unintentionally homeless in priority need. The denominators used to calculate the ‘Percentage of Homeless Acceptances’ (‘Total

Households on LA Register’) and the ‘Percentage of LA Dwellings Let to Homeless Households in Priority Need’ (‘Total LA Dwellings Let’) variables are taken from the 'Social Rented Housing:

Demand and Supply 2004/2005 dataset

Ownership of this dataset remains with the Office of the Deputy Prime

Minister (ODPM). It does not belong within the National Statistics profile. Information can only be re-

produced if the source is fully acknowledged.

Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance Claimants

The information in this dataset refers to numbers of claimants of Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance and is derived from a 100% data source; the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS). The dataset provides counts of total claimants of Incapacity

Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance, then disaggregations by Incapacity Benefit and Severe Disablement Allowance, age, gender, duration on benefit and some benefit-specific information.

In addition to counts of claimants, the disaggregations (except for duration on benefit and whether the claimant is claiming Incapacity Benefits or Severe Disablement Allowance) have been shown as a percentage of the total Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance

claimants. This makes the data more meaningful as it gives clearer comparisons within areas and over time. These have been calculated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and

added to the dataset that DWP supplied



32 Variables. DWP produce data about the key benefits that people may claim and these data are drawn from the computer systems used to administer the benefits. The figures presented in this spreadsheet have been derived from a 100% scan of Incapacity Benefits claimants. All data represent a snapshot in time of claimants on the Incapacity Benefits computer system (PSCS), and will therefore exclude a small number of cases that are held clerically. The data are derived from 100% administrative data (from the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS)), which

is not subject to any sampling error.

Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) and Data Zones (DZ)


University of Oxford on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) (now DCLG). The indicator is provided for comparison with the original indicator but does not constitute part of

an updated index. Data for this combined count have been drawn from several administrative sources relating to those claiming Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance, Working Tax Credit,

Disabled Person's Tax Credit as well as details on those seeking asylum.



The data presented here relate to the number of people experiencing income deprivation in an area, based on a combination of information from different sources. The combined indicator is

calculated using 5 indicators whose definitions follow those used for the indicators included in the Income Deprivation Domain of the Indices of Deprivation 2004. Original indicators = Jobseekers Allowance/Income Support/Working Tax Credit/Disabled Persons Tax Credit/Natioanl Asylum

Support Service.

Commercial and Industrial Floorspace and Rateable Value Statistics

The statistics presented are a collaboration between Communities and Local Government (CLG), the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and University College London. They provide information on the different types of non-domestic (commercial and industrial) property in England and Wales, broadly known as the 'bulk classes'. There are five different types of commercial and industrial premises (known as hereditaments) in England and Wales and include the following premises: Retail Premises/Offices/Factories/Warehouses/other Bulk

Premises. For each bulk class, and for the commercial and 'other' office breakdown, the number of hereditaments, total floorspace, total rateable value, and rateable value per m2 are shown.



The statistics are derived from administrative data provided by the VOA and are presented for England and Wales, the Government Office Regions of England, local authority districts (LAD) and Middle Layer Super Output Areas. 33 Variables. Communities and Local Government have

produced these statistics in collaboration with the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).

2006 (2005 Revaluation) (Data back to 1998 but not directly comparable)

This dataset provides information about the age and gender of people claiming the following benefits: Disability Living Allowance; Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance; Income

Support; Jobseekers Allowance and; Pension Credit.These summary statistics are compiled using extracts from the individual benefits datasets published in August 2006 on the

Neighbourhood Statistics website.



The data refer to the number of families receiving Child Benefit (CB) (and their eligible dependents) and are derived from 100% scans from the Child Benefit Computer System

(CBCS).The August 2005 data represent a snapshot at a point in time of all claimants and eligible

dependents in England and Wales present on the CBCS at 31 August 2005 plus awards for new families and children made by 30 November 2005 and backdated (CB awards can be backdated

for up to 3 months). It excludes a small number of cases that are held clerically.As well as family counts, the number of children in the family and the age and gender of the children are also given. This dataset forms part of a new time series when compared to the

1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 also data published on the Neighbourhood Statistics website. Previous datasets were counted according to numbers of individuals claiming Child Benefit, while the 2005 data are according to the number of families claiming Child Benefit.

While this is thought to affect only 0.3% of claimants compared to previous data, care should be taken when comparing these data to the previous years also published. Please see the

'Administrative Procedures' section of the full metadata document for further information.



Further information about statistics on CB can be obtained by email at:

[email protected] Publications from the 5% samples

and 100% scans going back to May 2003 are available from the

following HMRC website address:

The information presented here is part of a programme being conducted by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre of the University of Oxford, the Office of the Deputy Prime

Minister (ODPM), now Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to update many of the indicators used in the construction of the English Indices of Deprivation 2004. Note that the information does not constitute part of an

updated Index.



The data provide a single indicator of employment deprivation. The indicator is a sum of the number of people claiming benefits related to sickness or disability which prevent them from

working; the number of people engaged in New Deal Programmes, which seek to help people back to work and improve long term employability; andthe number of number of people claiming

Jobseeker’s Allowance benefit, which is paid to those actively seeking, and able to start employment.

Companies House. The ONS Annual Register Inquiry and other surveys supplement these administrative sources, identifying and maintaining the business structures necessary to produce

detailed industry and small area statistics.

Counts of Local Units for CAS Wards by Public/Private status, Single/Multi Site







The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has produced a number of tables of counts of businesses for England and Wales. This work was commissioned by the Neighbourhood

Statistics Service (NeSS). These tables are an expansion of the local unit and enterprise data already produced and disseminated via the ONS publication UK Business: Activity, Size and Location - 2006. This publication is compiled from the Inter-Departmental Business Register

(IDBR), which contains information on VAT traders and PAYE employers in a statistical register comprising 2.1 million enterprises, representing nearly 99 per cent of UK economic activity.

These tabulations are produced from a snapshot of the IDBR on 17 March 2006. The analyses are produced at Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) level for England and Wales.



5 Variables. It is based on inputs from three administrative sources: traders registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes with HM Revenue & Customs; employers operating a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) scheme registered with HM Revenue & Customs; and incorporated businesses

registered at Companies House. The ONS Business Register Survey and other surveys supplement these administrative sources, identifying and maintaining the business structures necessary to produce detailed industry and small area statistics. The Business Registers Unit

(BRU) undertakes numerous and continuous checks on the quality of the data held on the IDBR. Regular VAT and PAYE updates are received from HM Revenue & Customs and files of these

updates are checked. Regular reports are also run on employment, UKSIC(2003), turnover, legal status and geographical location both at enterprise and local unit level. New VAT and PAYE

registrations are matched. If an existing enterprise is not found and has employment estimated at twenty or more, the new enterprise is proved by direct contact. Existing enterprises and their local

units are updated mainly through the Business Register Survey.

These datasets are available to view on screen via the National

Statistics website. Users may also download the entire dataset as

Drug Misusers Presenting for Treatment by a) Gender, b) Age Group and c) Main Drug of Misuse

These data represent the time period: 1st October 1999 - 31st March 2000. They are a subset of that published by the DH in the Statistical Bulletins "Statistics from the Regional Drug Misuse

Databases for six months ending March 2000"; which are available on the DH website. This data represents one dataset in a series of 10 based on data collected from the RDMD. Two further datasets are held on the Neighbourhood Statistics website, those relating to 1st April - 30th

September 2000 and 1st October 2000 - 31st March 2001. A new regional health structure for England which took effect in April 1999 meant that these later two datasets form a new time series for Drug Misusers Presenting for Treatment data. The Department of Health (DH) has

provided these data for England, drawn from Regional Drug Misuse Databases (RDMD). They give information on people presenting to services with problem drug misuse for the first time or

for the first time following a gap of 6 months or more. The information assists in the understanding of the treatment of problem drug misuse both nationally and locally

University of Oxford on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). The indicator is provided for comparison with the original indicator but does not constitute part of an updated

index. The data presented here are designed to identify areas with relatively high rates of people admitted for emergency hospital treatment.



1 Variable. The data are drawn from the Hospital Episode Statistics collected by the Department of Health. The age and sex distribution in an area was derived from population estimates

constructed by the University of Oxford. The population estimates used were based on population counts drawn from administrative datasets and were created using a methodology which has been rigorously tested by the University of Oxford. The data cover the period of 2001/2002 – 2002/2003. HES covers all medical specialities and includes private patients treated in NHS hospitals and those admitted for day case surgery but excludes out-patients and those being

treated by a GP.

This dataset provides details on difficult to let, low demand and vacant dwellings by tenure and is taken from the Housing Investment Programme, 'Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix'. The

information also covers 'Owner Occupied and Private Rented' dwellings that have been vacated for over six months as well as 'Local Authority (LA) Dwellings that Have Been Vacant for More Than Six Months'. Basic counts are complemented by details on the proportion (%) of cases in each category. The denominators used to calculate the percentages have been taken from the 'Dwelling Stock by Tenure and Condition', April 2005 dataset. The figures presented are drawn from a snapshot taken at 1 April 2005. The data highlight key aspects of housing demand for

each LA in England and provide information relating to a total of 21,906,172 dwellings.



22 Variables. There was no imputation at the LA, Regional or National level. Figures registered as missing values at LA level have not been estimated and have therefore been considered to be zeros when aggregating to a higher level. As a consequence, Regional totals will not always

agree with the sum of counts for LAs within a Government Office Region (GOR). All LAs submitted a HIP return for 2005 to the Housing Data and Statistics Department of the DCLG.

Missing entries were registered as not known or not available. Such entries refer to any sections of the form that were not fully completed by the LA. In total, 9.4% (697) of the entries were

missing.

Ownership of this dataset remains with the Department for Communities and Local

Government (DCLG). It does not belong within the National Statistics

Profile. Information can only be produced if the source is fully

acknowledged.

Indices of Deprivation 2004: Working Aged Adults with No or Low Qualifications Indicator

These data relate to the proportion of adults lacking skills or qualifications, which is a measure of deprivation for the resident working-age population. The data form one of the indicators in the Indices of Deprivation 2004 ‘Education, Skills and Training Deprivation’ Domain, ‘Adult Skills’ Sub-Domain. This can be regarded as a deprivation trigger as such adults will be less able to compete with people with qualifications in the labour market. It may also be a measure of the

area’s attractiveness (or otherwise) to new employment opportunities



1 Variable. Adults were classified as having low qualifications if they had Level 1 qualifications only, i.e., 1+ ‘O’-level passes, 1+ CSE/GCSE any grades, NVQ Level 1, Foundation GNVQ, or

other lower qualifications.

These data comprise key offences from the Home Office's recorded crime series, and are presented as Experimental Statistics. They are a subset of the 'notifiable offences' recorded by

the police. 'Notifiable' offences do not cover all criminal offences, as almost all of the more minor summary offences are excluded (even though the police may record them for their own

purposes). The offence types shown here have been agreed between the Home Office (HO), the Office for National Statistics (ONS), and the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit (NRU) as those most

relevant in determining deprivation and those where identification of individuals is less likely (meaning the damage introduced through disclosure control methods is kept to a minimum).

These data comprise a range of key offences from the Home

Office's recorded crime series for a number of regional crime

The means of travel to work is that used for the longest part, by distance, of the usual journey to work. For the purposes of this table, public transport is defined as Underground, metro, light rail

or tram, train and bus, minibus or coach. The distance travelled to work is the distance in kilometres of a straight line between the residence postcode and workplace postcode. The distance is not calculated for people working mainly at or from home, people with no fixed workplace, people working on an offshore installation or people working outside the UK.



The distance travelled to work is the distance in kilometres of a straight line between the residence postcode and workplace postcode. The distance is not calculated for people working

mainly at or from home, people with no fixed workplace, people working on an offshore installation or people working outside the UK. The population of the table is all people aged 16 to

74 in employment. Information is generally available as both counts (giving the numbers) and percentages (which are often more useful for comparisons between areas).

The information in this dataset refers to numbers of claimants of Jobseekers Allowance and is derived from a 100% data source; the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS). The

dataset provides counts of total claimants of Jobseekers Allowance, then disaggregations by three bands of age and gender. The data refer to a snapshot in time. These snapshots are taken at quarterly intervals at the end of February, May, August and November, and are published on the DWP website. The Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website publishes annual data only. In addition to counts of claimants, the disaggregations have been shown as a percentage of the

total Jobseekers Allowance claimants. This makes the data more meaningful as it gives clearer comparisons within areas and over time. These have been calculated by the Office for National

Statistics (ONS) and added to the dataset that DWP supplied.



11 Variables. The figures presented in this spreadsheet have been derived from a 100% scan of Jobseekers Allowance claimants. All data represent a snapshot in time of claimants on the

Jobseekers Allowance computer system (JSAPS), and will therefore exclude a small number of cases that are held clerically.

Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) and Data Zones (DZ)

This dataset provides users with a three-year average of life expectancy at birth figures, produced by aggregating death and population data for the three-year period. Life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average number of years a new born baby would survive if he or she

experienced the particular area's age-specific mortality rates for that three-year period throughout his/her life. The figure reflects mortality amongst those living in the area rather than mortality among those born in each area. As these data are estimates, they are supplemented

with 95% confidence intervals, which will identify those estimates which are statistically significant, and those which were due to chance. The life expectancy at birth figures are

produced for males and females.

Research Centre of the University of Oxford on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), now the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). This measure is

based on data from a number of administrative sources including prescribing data, secondary care data and mortality data where the cause of death was suicide. As some of these datasets

only relate to a subset of mental health conditions it was not possible to produce a ‘general’ mental health measure. Instead this indicator focuses on adults under 60 suffering from mood or

anxiety disorders. This group however represents a large proportion of the total population suffering from mental ill health. The datasets cover a period from 1999 to 2003.

Mental Illness: Admissions and Admission Rates to NHS Hospitals by Age and Gender

This dataset provides information about patients admitted to NHS hospitals in England for mental illness specialities, for males and females by two broad age groups (0-44 years, and 45 years and over) for Primary Care Organisations (PCOs) in England. Admission rates are also

provided, calculated using Mid-year Resident Population Estimates, 2002. This dataset complements the following related dataset which can also be found on the Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website: 'Mental Illness: Finished Consultant Episodes and Discharges by

Primary Psychiatric Diagnosis and Gender, 2002/03'.



13 Variables. Admissions of people with mental illness come from the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) database. The dataset includes day case surgery, but excludes out-patients, those people receiving community-based care, those people subject to Guardianship under the Mental Health Act 1983, and those in private hospitals. The figures given are the sum of all admissions under

the five psychiatric specialties. Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) is a record-level data warehouse of episodes of admitted patient care to NHS hospitals in England. It includes

information on the patient, when and where they were treated, diagnoses and operations, type of admission and various supplementary and derived data. The information has many uses and supports a wide variety of work within the NHS, the Department of Health, other Government

Departments, Public Health Observatories, medical research and the general public. A separate database table is held for each financial year containing approximately 12 million admitted patient

records from all NHS Trusts in England. The information can be used to answer a range of questions about topics such as diagnoses and operations, NHS trusts, length of stay, times

waited, admission methods, age, sex and ethnicity of patients. The information presented here gives a frozen snapshot of the number of admissions (and rates) from 1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003. It should be noted that there can be more than one admission per person during the year.

Once released, tabulations and extracts of HES data are available

for a variety of uses by researchers, public health bodies,

etc. Confidentiality restrictions apply.

Mental Illness: Finished Consultant Episodes and Discharges by Primary Psychiatric Diagnosis and

Gender

This dataset provides information about the number of Finished Consultant Episodes (FCEs) and Discharges that patients who are admitted to NHS hospitals for one of the following mental

illness categories are suffering from: Manic Disorder, Neurotic Disorder, Schizophrenia and other Psychiatric Disorders. The data are also categorised by gender, and cover Primary Care

Organisations (PCOs) in England for the financial year 2002/2003. This dataset complements the following related dataset which can also be found on the Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS)

website: 'Mental Illness: Admissions and Admission Rates to NHS Hospitals by Age and Gender, 2002/03'.



22 Variables. Finished Consultant Episodes and Live Discharges from NHS Hospitals of people with mental illness come from the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) database. The dataset

includes day case surgery, but excludes out-patients, those people receiving community-based care, those people subject to Guardianship under the Mental Health Act 1983, and those in private hospitals. The figures given are the sum of all admissions under the five psychiatric

specialties. The dataset covers all treatment episodes in England for individuals resident and treated in England. The data are referenced to the relevant Primary Care Organisation of patient residence whereas episodes relating to individuals not resident in England or those with missing information (i.e. address) are only included in the England level total. HES does not provide data on psychiatric morbidity within communities, only those who are seen by a consultant. Therefore

individuals treated by their GP and prescribed antidepressants, for example, would not be included. Data taken from the HES. The information presented here gives a frozen snapshot of

the number of Finished Consultant Episodes and Live Discharges from 1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003. It should be noted that there can be more than one Finished Consultant Episode per

person during the year.




Social Grade is the socio-economic classification used by the market research and marketing industries, most often in the analysis of spending habits and consumer attitudes.

Based on census data- variables include: All People Aged 16 and over in Households; AB: Higher and intermediate managerial / administrative / professional ; C1: Supervisory, clerical,

junior managerial / administrative / professional ; 2: Skilled manual workers ; D: Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers ; E: On state benefit, unemployed, lowest grade workers

The figures provide a snapshot of the levels of Social Housing Rents at 31 March 2005. This dataset includes details of Social Housing Rents at Local Authority (LA) and Government Office Region (GOR) level. The dataset has information on Registered Social Landlord (RSL) gross,

net and target rents along with information on LA net rents. These figures are listed by dwelling type as specified by the number of bedrooms in the dwelling. An average target rent for LA properties is also included (not specified by the number of bedrooms). The dataset provides

details about the level of Social Housing Rents and have been taken for the relevant years from two separate sources; Housing Revenue Account (HRA) and the Regulatory Statistical Return

(RSR).



This dataset enables comparison of mortality information across a range of areas. This measure makes allowance for the differing age structures of the population in different areas of the

country. For example one would expect the crude death rate in the South West to be higher than some other locations because of the prevalence of more elderly residents. Standardised

Mortality Ratios (SMRs) compare the actual number of events in an area (e.g. South Gloucestershire) with the expected number of events based on mortality rates of a reference population (e.g. England & Wales). The SMR is a ratio of observed to expected number of deaths. It can also be used to look at other events such as hospital activity. The observed

figures come from the local area, while the expected figures are obtained by applying the death rate in the reference population to the local population.



Synthetic Estimates of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours at PCO Level

This dataset provides "synthetic estimates" and confidence intervals for a range of healthy lifestyle variables. The variables are: smoking, binge drinking, obesity and the consumption of fruit and vegetables in both adults and children. These PCO estimates were derived from the sister dataset "Synthetic Estimates of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours at Ward Level, 2000-2002" which can also be found on the Neighbourhood Statistics website. Users of these data should

see the associated metadata for further information.

The basis of the data collection from businesses by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR), which was introduced in 1994 and became fully

operational in 1995. The IDBR combines information on VAT traders and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) employers in a statistical register comprising 2 million enterprises, representing nearly 99% of economic activity. The register comprises companies, partnerships, sole-proprietors, public authorities, central government departments, local authorities and non-profit making bodies. The main administrative sources for the IDBR are HM Customs & Excise, for VAT

information (passed to the ONS under the Value Added Tax Act 1994) and Inland Revenue for PAYE information (transferred under the Finance Act 1969). Other information is added to the

register if required for ONS statistical purposes. All data held on the IDBR is treated as 'Restricted Commercial



Within England and Wales, births are assigned to areas according to the usual residence of the mother at the date of the birth, as stated at registration. If the address of usual residence is

outside England and Wales, the birth is included in any aggregate figure for England and Wales as a whole, but excluded from the figures for any individual region or area. As with births, within

England and Wales, a death is normally assigned to the area of usual residence of the deceased. If this is outside England and Wales, the death is included in any aggregate figure for England and Wales as a whole, but excluded from the figures for any individual region or area.

There were 1,441 deaths of non-residents in 1998.



The information in this dataset provides details about success rates for work based learning (WBL) learners living in England during the academic year 2003 to 2004. In all cases the

learners are those eligible for funding by the LSC. The information is based on data collected from 1,084 WBL providers covering private organisations, businesses, charities, school sixth forms, colleges, local authorities and other training providers. There are approximately 1,100

different aims (qualifications) covered including NVQs, apprenticeships and advanced apprenticeships

The information presented here was used as an underlying indicator to construct the Indices of Deprivation 2004 developed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre of the University of

Oxford on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). The Indices of Deprivation are an extremely important data source, which enable small pockets of deprivation to be

pinpointed and highlights variation between areas. This information helps target policies and funding, reinforcing the Government's drive to improve the quality of life in disadvantaged communities. The Indices of Deprivation have been used widely across central and local

government and by charitable and other bodies to target resources to those areas most in need.

The information in this dataset refers to numbers of Working Age Benefit Claimants and is derived from a 100% data source; the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS). The dataset provides counts of benefit claimants categorised by their statistical group (their main reason for interacting with the benefit system), gender and age. Claimants may be claiming

more than one benefit and are therefore categorised according to a benefit hierarchy which is further explained in the full metadata document. The main advantage of this dataset is that the

double counting of claimants of multiple benefits has been removed so that users will get a more accurate picture of benefit claiming and worklessness at a small area level. The data refer to a snapshot in time, and these snapshots are taken at quarterly intervals at the end of February, May, August and November. In addition to counts of claimants, the disaggregations have been shown as a percentage of the total number of Working Age Client Group claimants. This makes

the data more meaningful as it gives clearer comparisons within areas and over time. These have been calculated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and added to the dataset that

The New Deal for the Long Term Unemployed, now referred to as New Deal 25plus (ND25plus) has been operating nationally since 29 June 1998 and is aimed at those aged 25 up to state

pension age. It is a mandatory programme for those who had been claiming JSA for at least 2 years. Those who had already been unemployed for 2 years when the programme was

introduced were required to enter New Deal when they reached their next annual Restart interview date, but were entitled to request immediate entry. From April 2001, the programme

was extended and enhanced to provide clients with access to a greater and more tailored range of support and provision. Eligibility was extended to include those who had been claiming JSA

for 18 out of the last 21 months.

ABI covers whole of UK and collects data on employment and financial information. Online ABI focuses on financial information such as GVA, and turnover on two thirds of the economy

including production, consumption, wholesale, retail, agriculture, mortor and services. Includes a workplace analysis and employee analysis.

The data contained in this publication are produced from a snapshot of the Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) taken on 17 March 2006. this publication includes information only on VAT-based enterprises and local units. Enterprises / Local Units based only on PAYE employers

are not included due to the potential for duplication. Work relating to implementing recommendations from the Allsopp ‘Review of Statistics for Economic Policymaking’ is being

undertaken within Business Registers Unit to permit the inclusion of the remaining PAYE units that are currently excluded from this publication. The work has extended to the identification of additional units that are registered with Companies House but are not included on the IDBR.

While the work is proceeding we are continuing to exclude these units. The employment information on the IDBR is drawn mainly from the Business Register Survey (BRS), previously known as the Annual Register Inquiry (ARI). Because this is based on a sample of enterprises,

estimates from previous returns and from other ONS surveys have also been used. For the smallest units, either PAYE jobs or employment imputed from VAT turnover is used

http://www.sbs.gov.uk/SBS_Gov_files/researchandstats/SMEstats2005methodology.pdf. Uses IDBR. The IDBR is a business register administered by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It

holds records of all businesses registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) and all businesses operating a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) scheme. Careful monitoring of the Register by the ONS minimises double counting. The IDBR records each business’ employment (and hence size),

turnover and industry. Employment was originally taken from the biennial Census of Employment, an ONS inquiry. From 1995-1998 the main source was the Annual Employment Survey, which has now been replaced by the Business Register Survey (BRS). The employment information

currently on the IDBR is drawn mainly from the 2004 BRS. Because this is based on a sample of enterprises, estimates from previous surveys and from other ONS surveys have also been used.

For the smallest units, either PAYE jobs or employment imputed from VAT turnover is used. Turnover provided to the ONS for the majority of traders is based on VAT returns for a 12 month period ending in December 2004, or January / February 2005, according to the reporting pattern of the trader. For other records, in particular members of VAT group registrations, turnover may

relate to an earlier period. For traders who have registered more recently, turnover represents the estimate made by traders at the time of registration. For the small number of PAYE only records

for which there are no data, turnover is imputed from employment.Small businesses are not

The council tax band of a property is not related to its current market value. This is because, by law, council tax valuations are based on the price a property would have fetched if it had been sold on 1 April 1991. For Wales the Valuation date is 1 April 2003. General price movements in

the housing market since that date are not, therefore, a reason for changing a council tax banding.

Area classifications group together geographic areas according to key characteristics that are common to areas within the grouping. Classifications are used widely by the public and private

sectors for understanding and analysing area-based data to identify issues and formulate strategies to resolve problems with a geographic perspective.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/

area_classification/oa/default.asp

Output Areas are grouped into 'clusters' by using multi dimensional relationships within 41 key characteristics drawn from the Census data, rather than by a rules based or preconceived

typology. So the classification is structured by the actual Census results. It is presented in a three level hierarchy - super group, groups, and sub groups - although the super group level alone will

meet the needs of many users - and essentially shows areas with populations with similar attributes regardless of location, although many groupings show marked spatial patterns.

Uses 2001 census Data. Classification Published in 2005

The National Statistics Area Classification provides area classifications at four different

geographic levels – there is an area classification for health areas, local authorities,

wards and at output area2 level

Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance Claimants

Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance, then disaggregations by Incapacity Benefits and Severe Disablement Allowance, four bands of age (16 – 24, 25 – 49, 50 – 59 and 60 and

over), gender, five categories of duration on benefit (less than 6 months, 6 months – 1 year, 1 – 2 years, 2 – 5 years and 5 years and over) and some benefit specific information. For Incapacity

Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance there are six medical reasons for claiming (Mental Disorders, Diseases of the Nervous System, Diseases of the Respiratory or Circulatory System,

Musculoskeletal Diseases, Injury or Poisoning and Other) - please see the ‘Concepts and Definitions’ section for further information. The data refer to a snapshot in time, and these

snapshots are taken at quarterly intervals at the end of February, May, August and November, and are published on the DWP website and the Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website. This

dataset provides information about the age and gender of people claiming the following benefits: Disability Living Allowance; Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance; Income Support;

Jobseekers Allowance and; Pension Credit.These summary statistics are compiled using extracts from the individual benefits datasets published in August 2006 on the Neighbourhood

It provides an online monitoring service of the most up-to-date reference sources and critical reviews of published research evidence on the contribution of sport to a range of broader social issues.

http://www.sportengland.org/vosm/vosm.htm

The Value of Sport Monitor is not a bibliography (of the type already produced by a number of other agencies). Rather it is based on a relatively rigorous selection process and, in the main,

deals with evidence and reasonably robust empirical material and not the more general academic/theoretical material. These covered includes: crime, economic impact and regeneration

of local communities; education and lifelong learning; partipation, health, mental well being; social cohesion and capacity

Ecotourism, Sense of Place

Tourism is a key industry in England and for it to be sustainable we must ensure that the long-term needs of the community, its tourism industry, its visitors and its environment are taken into

account. Sustainability is a cross cutting theme that should be integrated into all tourism planning, and to achieve a truly sustainable tourism approach all of these elements need to be

effectively balanced together.

There approximately 550,000 hectares of registered common land in England and Wales – about 4 per cent of the total land area. It is a popular misconception that common land is

"owned" by everyone - this is not the case. Around 80 per cent of common land is privately owned. Subject to statutory controls and the commoners’ interests, owners enjoy essentially the

same rights as other land owners.

Woods on your Doorstep' project created 200 new woods in England & Wales and 50 more in Northern Ireland to celebrate the millennium. Now there are 930 ha (2297 acres) of new

woodland across 120 local authorities. Each wood is close to cities, towns and villages, and every community taking part helped to choose, design, plant and name their own wood. This project has received funding of £10.5 million from the Millennium Commission, supporting the

acquisition and continued management of all the 'Woods on your Doorstep' sites listed within this directory. Communities are the cornerstone of Woods on your Doorstep and they have been

involved in every phase from finding the site, raising funds, designing the woods, planting them and celebrating the success of the initiative.

Woods for People’ is an ongoing partnership funded by the Woodland Trust with support from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the Forestry Commission (across GB) and the Environment

and Heritage Service (Northern Ireland) to create and maintain a UK-wide 'provisional' dataset of accessible woodland. As a result of the information gathered on accessible woodland the

Woodland Trust has undertaken a major analysis of woodland access provision and deficit across the UK. Maps are available for areas, numbers and proportion of accessible woodland.

http://www.woodland-trust.org.uk/woodsforpeople/

finalreport/finalreport.htm

The Woods for People data is gathered from a wide variety of sources including local authorities, NGOs, statutory agencies, woodland management companies and private landowners. Then,

using the National Inventory of Woodland and Trees (NIWT) in Great Britain and the Woodland Vector data in Northern Ireland we have been able to see where this woodland is situated relative

to all other inaccessible woodland. We can also calculate the proportion of all woodland that is accessible using GIS.

WHI is the 'Walking the way to Health Initiative' and it aims to get more people walking in their own communities, especially those who take little exercise or live in areas of poor health. WHI is

an initiative of the British Heart Foundation and Natural England. It benefits from extra funding from the Big Lottery Fund. WHI has helped to create over 400 local health walk schemes and

has trained over 27,000 volunteer walk leaders. Since 2000, it is estimated that we've encouraged over a million people to walk more. WHI is one of 349 Healthy Living Centres (HLCs) in the UK promoting good health through health information, physical exercise and

education. HLCs target the most disadvantaged sections or groups of the population and seek to address the wider determinants of health and health inequalities such as social exclusion and

classification has been developed which allocates all identifiable land features on Ordnance Survey MasterMap into nine simplified land categories and an additional 'unclassified' category. These are: Domestic Buildings; Domestic Gardens; Non-Domestic Buildings; Roads; Railways;

Paths; Greenspace; Water; Other (largely hardstanding); and Unclassified. Three additional variables are supplied with this dataset: the summed area of all land categories, the size of the administrative area to the extent of the realm, and the percentage difference between these two

figures. The latter provides a 'quality of fit' indicator, and is only available at OA and LSOA levels. This simple classification provides the framework for analysis of land for each of the published geographic areas. The statistics provide a basis for comparing (for example) the

availability of green space between administrative areas, and also provide input into analyses of housing density, and thus the capacity for building new housing.

13 Variables. A classification has been developed which allocates all identifiable land features on Ordnance Survey MasterMap into nine simplified land categories and an additional 'unclassified' category. These are: Domestic buildings, Non-domestic buildings, Roads, Paths, Rail, Gardens (domestic), Green space, Water, Other land uses (largely hardstanding), and Unclassified. The data are presented in thousands of square metres (000m2), to 2 decimal places. The statistics

are therefore accurate to the nearest 10m2. Where there is no area of a given land type, a zero is shown in the cell. Where there is some area, but less than 5m2, this is shown by a dash (-) in the

cell. Three additional variables are supplied with this dataset: the summed area of all land categories ‘Total Area of all Land Types’, the size of the administrative area to the extent of the

realm ‘Area of Admin Geography’, and the percentage difference between these two figures. The latter provides a 'Quality of Fit Indicator’, and is only available at OA and LSOA levels. Note that

due to rounding, the sum of the land categories may not add exactly to the ‘area of all land categories’ variable. In summary, these statistics are created via a computerised process, which

identifies different landparcels and buildings on an Ordnance Survey digital map product, and records their ‘type’ and

area.Each land parcel is then assigned to a specific Output Area based on its central point, and the

information is aggregated to higher geographies.

This dataset draws its information from the National Land Use Database of Previously-Developed Land (NLUD-PDL). It relates to previously developed land (also known as 'brownfield'

land) that may be available for redevelopment in England. The information is collected to facilitate the redevelopment of brownfield land, to help local authorities minimise the use of

'greenfield' land (land that has not been developed previously) and to monitor the feasibility of meeting the government's targets for at least 60% of new dwellings to be on previously

developed land or in conversions.


17 Variables. This dataset draws its information from the National Land Use Database of Previously-Developed Land (NLUD-PDL). It relates to previously developed land (also known as "brownfield" land) that may be available for redevelopment in England. The source is information

on individual sites provided by local authorities. For most authorities it shows the status at 31 March 2004 but in some cases, data from previous years has been used to improve the number of local authority returns. The source includes the exact location, area in hectares, suitability for

housing and, if suitable, the number of dwellings that could be built.

The HPI visualisation tool allows you to view health-related data comparing two different populations. You can visualise the data in a variety of different formats - spider charts (referred

to here as the HPI chart), bar-charts, HTML tables and Excel tables - and reuse these tables and charts in your own documents. In order to map out the concept of ‘health poverty’, a large

number of innovative variables have been created. The data is available in two formats, scaled and ranked. In both formats a score of zero indicates the best situation in terms of health poverty

and a score of one indicates the worst situation. The scaled data for each indicator shows the linearly scaled indicator - the Local Authority score showing the highest level of health poverty

across England for that indicator is given a score of one, while the Local Authority score showing the lowest level of health poverty across England for that indicator is given a score of zero. The ranked data for each indicator shows the linearly scaled ranked indicator - all Local Authorities

are ranked on that indicator, and the ranks scaled so that the the Local Authority score showing the highest level of health poverty across England for that indicator is given a score of one, while

included in every year since 1995. The survey aims: to provide annual data about the nation's health; to estimate the proportion of the population with specific health conditions; to estimate the prevalence of risk factors associated with those conditions; to assess the frequency with which combinations of risk factors occur; to examine differences between population sub-groups; to

monitor targets in the health strategy; (from 1995) to measure the height of children at different ages, replacing the national study of health and growth. The modules may be about a single

topic, several topics or about population groups. The modules to date have been: 1993: cardiovascular disease; 1994: cardiovascular disease; 1995: asthma, accidents, disability; 1996:

asthma, accidents, special measures of general health (Euroquol, SF36) ; 1997: children and young people; 1998: cardiovascular disease; 1999: ethnic groups; 2000: older people, social exclusion. The Health Survey is designed to be nationally representative of people of different age, sex, geographic area and socio-demographic circumstances. The 1991 and 1992 surveys had a limited population sample of about 3,000 and 4,000 adults respectively. For 1993 to 1996 adult sample was boosted to about 16,000 to enable analysis by socio-economic characteristics

National Survey of Local Shopping Patterns (NSLSP) is the definitive source of information on consumer shopping patterns and retail choice. This important suite of three data sets enables you to analyse grocery, non-food and retail park catchments and to determine the competition for any given catchment. For each shopping location, the attributes provided include: the location ID, the

trading location name (Oxford town centre or Tesco, Tring Road for example), the county, the standard statistical region, the government office region, the easting & northing of the trading

location, the postcode sector, the number of respondents going to that location from the specified postal sector, the total number of respondents in the sector, the penetration rate (The proportion

of people in that sector that use that shopping location), the sector population, and number of shoppers going to the trading location.

This dataset provides information about Finished Consultant Episodes (FCEs) which is the period of time that a patient spends in the care of one consultant when in hospital. Information is

given about the patients' age and gender, along with the main diagnosis (Coronary Heart Disease, Stoke or Cancer), cause (accident) and operation (Hip Replacement, Heart operations and Cataract operations) which took place, during the patients' admission. The information has

many uses and supports a wide variety of work within a number of government departments, the NHS, Public Health Observatories, medical research and the general public.


48 Variables. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) provides information about the admitted patient treatment delivered by NHS hospitals in England. This includes day case surgery, but currently

excludes out-patients. NHS Trusts submit their data to the NHS-wide Clearing Service for onward transmission to commissioners and HES is built from a national, annual extract of these records. The data are then cleaned, validated and new fields derived. Finished Consultant Episode (FCE)

counts from HES have been produced for LA –level only for the 2002-2003 financial year, and information covers the following specified diagnosis, cause and operative procedures: 1.

Diagnosis - Coronary Heart Disease; 2. Diagnosis - Stroke; 3. Diagnosis - Cancer; 4. Causes - Accident; 5. Operation - Hip replacement; 6. Operation - CABG and PTCA (Heart) and 7.

Operation - Cataracts.

This data relates to the occurrence and properties of water on and within the Earth, including its distribution, composition, quality, origins, availability and abundance. Water is vital to life and the careful management of groundwater, held below the ground surface in permeable rocks called "aquifers", is important in the protection of sources of water supplies. BGS produces and holds

extensive digital data relating to groundwater in the UK.

Between 1998 and 2001, survey conducted to assess the earnings and hours of agricultural and horticultural workers once a year for month of September. http://statistics.defra.gov.uk/esg/statnot/earning_hours.pdf

Between 1998 and 2001, this survey collected information on the earnings and hours of agricultural and horticultural workers once each year for the month of September. The survey was

reviewed in 2002 and it was concluded that the frequency of the survey should be increased to four times per year to enable the production of more representative annual estimates. The annual

sample size has been retained and will be split between the 4 quarterly surveys. This Notice contains annual estimates for the 12 months ending September 2006 and the results of the most

recent quarterly survey covering England and Wales. A sample of holdings is surveyed and information collected for workers aged 20 years and over. The number of workers in the sample

for each type of worker is published along with a 95% confidence interval for the main results. For example, the national average weekly earnings for male full-time workers were £340.60 with a confidence interval of ± £22.05, so we can be 95% confident that the population average for all

such workers in England and Wales lies within £318.55 - £362.65. Includes average weekly earnings, hours worked, average hourly wage and nuber in sample.

Data are collected on land use, land tenure, labour, crops, livestock, and horticulture for all main holdings registered in England and Wales. Currently all of the economically significant holdings are sampled (apart from in 2000, when there will be a full Census of all agricultural holdings).

Economically very small holdings are sampled once in every three years, with the very smallest of these being sampled at a rate of one in ten. Data are available for standard regions, counties and groups of parishes on request. The Census is carried out annually on the first weekday in June.

Provisional results are published three months after the reference point, with the final results available seven months after the reference point.

This annual publication is designed to provide, in one easy-to-reference booklet, comprehensive statistics on the production and value of horticultural crops grown in the United Kingdom. Some

statistics on potatoes and hops are also included as well as overseas trade data. Each publication covers an 11 year period.

http://statistics.defra.gov.uk/esg/publications/bhs/default.aspIncludes data on fruit, vegetables, ornamentals and hops. Variables include planted area, value of production in domestic market, value of imports and exports

The material in this publication has been prepared by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs from the results of the Farm Business Survey (FBS) in England carried out by seven universities and agricultural colleges. Nearly all farms in the FBS have accounting years

ending between 31st December and 30th April; on average, the accounts end in February. Number of parameters include income, quantities, balance sheets, banking and borrowing,

external liabilities, input, socts, and income all by farm type and region

The Farm Structure Surveys are held across all Member States of the European Union four times every decade and are part funded by the European Commission. Th http://statistics.defra.gov.uk/esg/publications/FFS1/default.asp

e Information provided to Eurostat includes crop areas and livestock numbers (both sourced from June Census data) together with information on the age and gender of the workforce (sourced from separate Labour surveys conducted in Structure Survey years). The survey data help to assess the agricultural situation across the Community, to monitor trends in the structure of

holdings and to model the impact of external developments or policy proposals. Data for some 65,000 holdings are utilised for the Farm Structure Survey across the UK.


In 2002 the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) concluded a review of Urban and Rural definitions as a follow-up to the Urban and Rural White Papers. The review examined

government needs for urban and rural definitions, identified the definitions available, assessed their strengths and weaknesses, and established a small set of definitions that met a broad

range of user needs. It also considered the need for a new approach to defining urban and rural areas, and set out options for further development.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/nrudp.asp

Classification of whether a small area is a village hamlet or isolated dwelling, a town or fringe area (part of a settlement with less than 10,000 people) or an urban area (over 10,000

population).Under the new classification, Output Areas are described as urban or rural depending on whether the majority of the population falls inside a settlement of population 10,000 or more. Due to the demand for a better definition of rural settlements, the main focus of the project has

been the development of more detailed classifications for rural areas. The overall classification is based on a settlement approach and builds upon the identification of rural towns, villages and

scattered dwellings within a grid framework of cell size 1 hectare (100x100 metre squares). This ‘settlement framework grid’ is then used as the basis for the classification of Output Areas and

2003 Statistical wards in terms of settlement context and settlement form. These new classifications have been endorsed as National Statistics classifications. Users should adopt

these as the standard for use in National Statistics datasets.

This data has been provided by the Production Operators to the DTI using the UK PPRS "Petroleum Production Reporting System".

1975 to present (oil) and 1995 to present (gas)

A mixture of oil, water and gas is produced from reservoirs and these components are usually separated in the production train. However, not all the oil can be removed from the water and as

a result a small quantity of oil will be discharged with the produced water.Between 1991 and 2005, the discharge of oil-contaminated produced water from offshore installations is permitted

by an exemption granted under the Prevention of Oil Pollution Act, 1971 (POPA). The oil content must not exceed 40 parts per million. It has proved to be difficult for a few installations; in

particular those operating in mature fields, to meet this target. In 2005 of the 77 installations discharging produced water, 7 exceeded this target when averaged over the whole year. The

average content of oil in produced water for the year, for the UKCS as a whole, was 22.3 parts per million. This is in line with previous years figures

Potential additional reserves exist in discoveries for which there are no current plans for development and which are not currently technically or commercially producible. These

discoveries are not included in the estimates of Reserves which are listed in separate tables on the website. During January to March 2006, DTI reviewed each UKCS field and undeveloped

discovery with the current operator to establish its reserves and status as at the end of 2005. In total, 641 separate fields or discoveries, both onshore and offshore, were reviewed. The figures shown in the table below take account of all discoveries made up to the end of 2005 which do

not or no longer justify inclusion in the Reserves category


Term/Definition: Ultimate recovery/Total recovery from a field, i.e. reserves plus past production. Reserves/Discovered, remaining reserves which are recoverable and commercial. Can be proven, probable or possible depending on confidence level (as described below). Potential additional reserves/Discovered reserves that are not currently technically or economically

producible. Undiscovered resources/Undiscovered potentially recoverable resources in mapped leads.

The methodology for estimating undiscovered resources examines potential resources in mapped leads. In areas where detailed mapping has been carried out, mapped leads are analysed by standard statistical techniques to obtain estimates of resources in each basin.

Geological risk is assigned by play and also to each individual lead. For each geological basin, the risk factors are calibrated to drilling results. In the West of Scotland area there is insufficient mapping of leads and prospects so an estimate is made based on knowledge of the geology of

the area.


In earlier years, only leads mapped by DTI were used to generate estimates of undiscovered resources. Since end 2003, leads and prospects mapped by oil companies have been added.

These are mainly extracted from Licence Round application documents and Fallow Block submissions. The mapping done by DTI does not systematically cover the entire UKCS and the company data have provided valuable additional information, particularly in the mature licensed

areas where DTI mapped leads and prospects are relatively sparse.The database has been updated to take account of the new drilling and mapping that took place in 2005 and existing

leads have been revised or deleted where necessary to fit with new industry-generated information. DTI and industry leads continue to be re-risked according to drilling results and the

highest risked leads (less than 1 in 20 geological chance of success) are excluded from the tabulated estimates below as these are considered very unlikely to be de-risked to the level that

will enable them to be drilled.

shows DTI's latest projections of UKCS crude oil, natural gas liquid (NGL) and gas production for the period 2007 to 2012. The projection for gas relates to net UKCS production available for

sale. The projections are based on detailed field-by-field data provided by all operators but have been adjusted to reflect previous deviations of actual production from company expectations and

to include a small notional allowance for production from recently discovered fields awaiting appraisal and as-yet-undiscovered fields that might be found and brought into production in this timeframe. They are presented as a range of possible outcomes because the rate of production is dependent on a number of different factors including the level of investment and the success

of further exploration

http://www.og.dti.gov.uk/information/bb_updates/chapters/Section4_17.htm

Summary Table Giving Ranges of UK Reserves and Undiscovered Resources

The total UK reserves (including Potential additional reserves plus undiscovered resources) are estimated to lie in the range of some 930 - 1764 - 3,271 million tonnes of oil and 775 - 1290 -

2,323 bcm of gas.


Term/Definition: Ultimate recovery/Total recovery from a field, i.e. reserves plus past production. Reserves/Discovered, remaining reserves which are recoverable and commercial. Can be proven, probable or possible depending on confidence level (as described below). Potential additional reserves/Discovered reserves that are not currently technically or economically

producible.Undiscovered resources/Undiscovered potentially recoverable resources in mapped leads.

Discovered, remaining reserves which are recoverable and commercial. Can be proven, probable or possible depending on confidence level (as described below).Discovered reserves

that are not currently technically or economically producible. Undiscovered potentially recoverable resources in mapped leads.


reserves quoted comprise all the gas reserves expected to be available for sale from dry gas fields, gas condensate fields, oil fields with associated gas and a small amount from coal bed

methane projects. Gas reserves are summed in the Gas Table below at different probability levels to give a range of estimates from proven to the maximum level. The gas reserves presented are in both sanctioned fields (i.e. fields in production or approved fields under development but not

yet producing) and other significant discoveries not yet fully appraised. The latter comprise discoveries for which there is an intended field development and a provisional start date. Proven, probable and possible reserves for a large number of individual fields have simply been summed to give the totals shown. There is, thus, a much smaller likelihood that the true figure for total gas reserves is outside the indicated range than when considering probability levels for an individual field. Reserves and Ultimate Recovery in the Gas Table are presented in units of billion standard cubic metres (bcm). Note that billion means thousand million [109]. The figures in the table can be converted to "field units" using the conversion factor of 1 bcm = 35.31 billion cubic feet (bcf).

The Forestry Commission has collected information for many years on the prices of conifers sold standing by the FC and publishes a Coniferous Standing Sales Price Index (CSSPI) every 6

months. A softwood sawlog price index, providing information on prices (delivered to roadside), of coniferous sawlogs produced by the Forestry Commission, is also published. Timber Price Indices gives values for overlapping 12 month periods and is available from the Forestry

Commission website. There is little other information on wood prices before primary processing and no price index is available for broadleaves. Prices for outputs of primary wood processing are

collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the Producer Price Indices (PPIs), and these are available in the MM22 Business Monitor which gives detailed PPIs monthly, or from the

The urban areas geography consists of major urban agglomerations, cities, and smaller towns defined in terms of their physical extent rather than by any administrative boundaries http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/default.asp

Urban areas have been defined starting with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's areas of urban land use - areas in England and Wales of at least 20 hectares in extent identified using a tangible bricks-and-mortar approach. Major urban areas and others with more than one central

focus are divided where possible to produce figures about localities within them. Previously separate urban areas, where urban land has merged, are also recognised by subdivisions where

possible. Subdivisions often follow the boundaries of local authorities existing before reorganisation in 1974, or the boundaries of current authorities within urban areas.

Countryside Survey 2000 (CS2000) is a major audit of the British countryside. It has involved both detailed field observations and satellite imagery which has provided a complete land cover census for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Many of the sample sites were first visited in 1978

and subsequently in 1984 and 1990 providing a time series of changes in the countryside.

The ESAs scheme aims to maintain and often to enhance the conservation, landscape and historical value of the key environmental features of an area, and, where possible, improve public access to these areas. Farmer managed ESAs include some of our most important

landscapes - upland: wetland; moor; coastal marsh; river valleys, which offer protection for some of our rarest plants (orchids, cornflower) and establish a suitable environment for the recovery of

native species (brown hare, otter, water vole).

The collection of information is contracted out to a consortium of seven FBS Centres (PDF 51 KB) in England. These Centres employ expert staff to compile information on each farm in the

survey, including a full management account, from accredited documents on farm and from face to face interviews with the farmer. High priority has been given to developing definitions and

collection methodology; formal training and briefing at FBS Research Centres are designed to ensure uniformly high standards in the conduct of the survey. This area of work is overseen by an

independent Quality Assessor and a Code of Best Practice has been developed for FBS Research Centres.

The 2001 Census revealed that the UK today is more culturally diverse than ever before.

The 4.6 million people from a variety of non-White backgrounds are not evenly distributed across the country, tending to live in the large

urban areas. The different groups share some characteristics but there are often

greater differences between the individual ethnic groups than between the minority

ethnic population as a whole and the White British people.

activities on the network, maximise infrastructure utilisation and load management. 2 Assets like transformers and transmission lines are expensive and can be affected by overloading caused by excessive electrical demand. High temperature can also cause

overheating and result in failures or shorten the lifetime expectancy. In addition, the thermal ratings for transmission lines are normally calculated by conservative weather conditions and a maximum allowable conductor temperature. Extreme conditions are

often ignored. The project will correlate transformer and power line loading with forecasted load demand data in order to assess the impact of possible extreme

weather events in the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s.

Despite the name of the early surveys, they did not cover visits by people living in Northern Ireland. Visits to overseas destinations were also excluded. Although the methodology used in the 2002/3 survey

was largely the same as in earlier surveys, differences between practices in the two surveys may be responsible for some of the

differences in results

Diversification is widely held to offer considerable scope for improving the economic viability of many farm businesses and in turn reducing their dependence on the

production of primary subsidised agricultural commodities. Many farm diversification activities can also provide benefits for the wider rural economy and community by, for

example, encouraging and providing additional job opportunities

Local Authorities checked the data when they came back to them for accuracy and completeness prior to inputting. Responses were changed only when there was a

strong likelihood that the correct answer could be worked out, otherwise an ambiguous response was recorded as unanswered. Once the data had been

inputted, checks were carried out for internal inconsistencies. This was carried out by producing basic tables showing the overall responses to each question and

checking for accuracy and completeness. Any queries were investigated. As part of the process of collecting all BVPI’s, local auditors (employed or engaged by the Audit Commission) carried out checks of the procedures and sources that were

used to produce individual results. Auditing the BVPI surveys was part of this quality checking framework. The local auditors checked the data for inconsistencies and errors, and discrepancies were referred back to the Local Authority for resolution.

Local Authorities carried out weighting of their data if it was felt that the distribution of responses was not representative of the target

population as a whole.

Further work is being undertaken to assess whether this Local Authority level information can be provided for smaller areas in

the future

The University of Oxford carried out checks to quality assure the data. The main sources utilised were the principal official measures available at the time.

The indicator provides an update to the indicator used in the Indices of Deprivation, which have been used extensively by central and local government to identify areas that would benefit from additional resources. The Indices have, for example, been

used to identify areas eligible for Neighbourhood Renewal Funding and Stamp Duty Exemption.

This dataset was revised in October 2006. This was due to the data showing incorrect scores for all LAs in England. The published scores had an inverse correlation with the

correct and revised scores now available on the Neighbourhood Statistics website.

Slight changes in classification mean that data from 2001 cannot be directly compared with previous years. Due to the small numbers

involved in farming compared with other groups of workers, the rates are very volatile giving a high range of values, for farmers this varies

between 161 and 258 and for farm workers between 81 and 154.

Used for showing the relationship between paid work, education and training and other activities in people's lives such as childcare, care of the elderly and other adults

and accommodation needs.

bias – despite the high response rate (83% for the panel sample; 70% for the fresh), it may be that non-respondents differ in key

respects to those who took part. For example, those with particularly chaotic lifestyles might be difficult to contact and more likely to

refuse. Accuracy of responses – the survey is designed to provide information that is as accurate as possible, e.g. by using self-

completion (CASI) for more sensitive questions, and audio- CASI to assist those with literacy problems. However the accuracy of

information obtained through all surveys depends on respondents’ ability to understand questions, their ability to recall events

accurately, and their willingness to provide complete honest and accurate responses. These factors may vary across different groups. Respondents were asked at the end of the interview how honest they had been when asked about offending and drug use; 98 per cent said they answered all or most offending questions honestly. Exclusions from the sample – people in institutions (including prisons), or who

are homeless are not covered in the OCJS sample. The results therefore relate to the general household population aged from 10 to 25 only. As such, and because of the limited sample size, there will

There are a number of discontinuities in LFS data caused by changes in the way the Survey has been conducted and changes in the

definitions of certain variables. The main breaks occurred in 1984 (when the survey changed from every two years to annual) and 1992

(when the survey became continuous with quarterly publication). Discontinuities are described in the LFS User Guide Volume 1 (1977)

‘Background and Methodology’ - Section 18

Its purpose is to provide information on the UK labour market that can then be used to develop, manage, evaluate and report on labour market policies

In order to indicate the degree of precision of LFS estimates, standard errors, relative standard errors (i.e. the standard error as a percentage of the estimate) and 95% confidence intervals (i.e. estimate + or - 1.96 standard error) for the estimates are calculated. The Office for National Statistics performs a number of checks on all

datasets prior to their acceptance onto the NeSS website. In addition to checking that appropriate area names and codes have been used, comprehensive numeric checks are carried out to ensure that any anomalies in the data are investigated. Where there are data for a previous year, historic checks are performed to make

sure that new figures are comparable with the old. Any larger than expected percentage increases or decreases in values are examined. All queries are referred

back to the data supplier for resolution.

The LFS collects a variety of details about the UK workforce, and is used by government departments to obtain information that could assist in the framing and

monitoring of social and economic policy.

Private households account for 99% of the sample. The list of households is based on the Postcode Address File. ONS estimates

this sample to cover 97% of all private households. Because the area north of the Caledonian Canal is sparsely populated a

random sample is drawn from the published telephone directory. Two groups are sampled separately: Information on students living in

halls of residence is collected via their parents household and people living in NHS

accommodation are sampled using a separate list of such accommodation.

LAs check the data prior to submission to the Housing Statistics Department of the ODPM. Validation procedures built into the electronic data collection system are

used to check the data are correctly entered into the system. These includes three main checks: Sum Checks, Range Checks and Comparison Checks. Finally, the returns completed online are automatically checked by the ODPM data record system, whilst the paper records are checked manually. The data are checked

manually by the Housing Statistics Department of the ODPM. Any errors or anomalies are either corrected within Housing Statistics or sent back to the relevant

LA to be resolved.

There is also a requirement for financial management proposes to keep records up-to date. These data are therefore likely to be

accurate, up-to-date and consistent across LAs. However, there are known variations between the way individual LAs administer the register of housing applications and the frequency with which the Housing Register is updated and the methods for updating the

register. Users should therefore treat the data with caution. The LAs inform the Housing Statistics Department of the ODPM about how the

calculations were made, thereby ensuring the figures are as comparable as possible. Ethnicity figures are not provided for each quarterly return for: South Staffordshire, there are no breakdown figures available for this LA however, a combined total figure is

provided.

The data provide comprehensive information on homelessness in England. Such information is used in the development of housing needs Indices, response to

parliamentary questions and for policy development on housing issues. LAs also need the data for either management purposes or to assist the continued development for

housing strategies and business plans.

All LAs submit their data via the World Wide Web using the ODPM data record system.

This is a simple electronic data delivery service that provides the user with on-screen

instructions. In addition, further assistance can be obtained from the HIP Advice Guide.

This data collection service is quick and efficient and has the added advantage of

some built -in validation.

DWP carry out extensive quality checks including measures to assess the accuracy, reliability, consistency and completeness of the data. Procedures are

constantly being updated and extended. Data are then forwarded to ONS, who in turn perform further consistency checks on all datasets prior to their acceptance

onto the NeSS website. In addition to checking that appropriate names and codes have been used, comprehensive numeric checks are carried out by ONS to ensure that any anomalies in the data are investigated. Where there are data for a previous year, historic checks are performed to make sure that new figures are comparable with the old. Any larger than expected percentage increases or decreases in values are examined. All queries are referred back to the data supplier for resolution. The

data are a National Statistics product, and are therefore produced to a high standard. They are derived from 100% administrative data which are not subject to any sampling errors. Stringent and thorough quality checks are applied to the data

to ensure its accuracy and reliability.

The data provide a sound and reliable basis for comparing benefit claims at various geographies ranging from Lower Layer Super Output Area and Data Zone level

through to Country level. The information should help those in Central Government, Local Authorities and other organisations who are working on a range of initiatives

relating to deprivation and worklessness.

In October 2005 the Department moved to use WPLS data as the key National Statistic

output. Stringent and thorough quality checks have been applied to the WPLS data to

ensure its accuracy and reliability as part of the Department’s Modernising Statistical

Publication project. In turn this has ensured quality and that the data are relevant to the

user.

The data are of very high quality as they are drawn from a 100% scan of administrative records and as a result are not subject to any sampling error. A small number of claimants whose details are held

clerically are excluded. Comprehensive validation checks are undertaken by the DWP Information Centre to assess the accuracy,

reliability, consistency and completeness of the data. Additional checks were undertaken by the University of Oxford to verify the

quality of the data.

The indicator provides an update to the indicators used to construct the Indices of Deprivation which have been used extensively by central and local government to

identify areas that would benefit from additional resources.

Users should note that the floorspace areas and total rateable values have been rounded to the nearest thousand. As a result, the sum of

floorspace areas and total rateable values for individual local authority areas may not equal the regional or national totals.

Rounding in this way also means that counts shown as zero may not be zero. Problems with accuracy can arise from the diversity of the non-domestic stock. For example, there are significant numbers of premises that might be put equally well into either the office or the retail bulk class. Such considerations can cause disagreement in

small area statistics from different data sources relating to the same stock of buildings.

These data are of use to local authority planners and policy makers, the property profession and others requiring information on the commercial and industrial stock. The data also feed directly into the Communities and Local Government project to

identify Areas of Town Centre Activity, and the ONS Consumer Price Index.

HMRC carry out extensive checks to ensure the accuracy, reliability, consistency, completeness and quality of the data. Procedures are constantly being updated and

extended, but include: Totals are credible when compared to 5% sample data; Year on year changes are mirrored by 5% sample data;

Totals agree across different tabulations on the same spreadsheet; Tables add up horizontally within each tabulation; All Lower layer SOAs sum to appropriate Middle layer SOAs; All Middle layer SOAs sum to appropriate GOR and country figures; All

Lower layer SOA/Middle layer SOA/LA figures are credible when compared to previous years’ data; Allocation of families to LAs are credible when compared to

previous year; There have been no large increases or decreases in any LA figures that are not explainable. Data are then forwarded to ONS, who in turn perform further

consistency checks on all datasets prior to their acceptance onto the NeSS website. In addition to checking that appropriate Super Output Area and LA names and codes have

been used, comprehensive numeric checks are carried out by ONS to ensure that any anomalies in the data are investigated. Where there are data for a previous year, historic checks are performed to make sure that new figures are comparable with the old. Any

larger than expected percentage increases or decreases in values are examined. All

Data are believed to be of a high standard as they are based on a scan of the computer systems used to administer and pay CB.

Although the information is collected primarily for administrative purposes, the data are used for a variety of statistical purposes for example, child population estimations, by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), other government departments and relevant

stakeholders.

HMRC also holds data below local authority level for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and counts at individual child ages and

higher family sizes. However, the time and resources needed to apply disclosure control procedures will limit the extent to which

requests for such data can be met.

However, the indicator still provides a useful measure of employment deprivation at the small area level. The Indices including the Income

Deprivation Affecting Children Index and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index together with their underlying indicators

are published on the Neighbourhood Statistics website. in order to create the indicator, it was necessary to combine different datasets which had been subject to disclosure control. This has some impact on the quality of the indicator. In order to create the indicator, it was necessary to combine different datasets which had been subject to disclosure control. Disclosure control techniques introduce a level of

The indicator can be used to give an indication of employment deprivation at the small area level. It may be used by central and local government to identify areas that would

benefit from additional resources and help to identify small pockets of deprivation.

It should be noted though that a high number of claimants in an area do not necessarily

mean the area has a high rate of unemployment, as the data do not take into account the size of the population in each

LSOA.

The ONS has made every effort to ensure that the data are as accurate as possible. The quality of data on the IDBR is continually checked from the time of

arrival (via HM Customs & Excise, the Inland Revenue, ONS Survey Forms, etc) to final tabulation.

The total number of enterprises on the dataset shown will differ from the total number of enterprises on the ‘Counts of Enterprises for CAS Wards by Employment Size Band: England and Wales’ dataset and the ‘Counts of Enterprises for CAS Wards by Public/Private status: England and Wales’ dataset. This is due to the fact that datasets

including employment size bands exclude approximately 3,500 recent registrations with large VAT turnover that are pending checking. The

NeSS 2004 dataset also differs from the NeSS 2000 datasets in respect of geography used. The 2004 datasets use CAS wards for England and Wales whereas the 2000 datasets use statutory wards

for the UK as they existed at the end of 1998.

A Standard Industrial Classification was first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1948

for use in classifying business establishments and other statistical units by the type of

economic activity in which they are engaged. The classification provides a framework for the collection, tabulation, presentation and

analysis of data and its use promotes uniformity. In addition, it can be used for

administrative purposes and by non-government bodies as a convenient way of

classifying industrial activities into a common structure. Also see 3 other similar data

sources for extra information.

New VAT and PAYE registrations are matched. If an existing enterprise is not found and has employment estimated at twenty or more, the new enterprise is proved by direct contact. Existing enterprises and their local units are updated mainly through

the Annual Register Inquiry. Other surveys conducted by ONS may also provide information for updating the IDBR. The ONS has made every effort to ensure that

the data are as accurate as possible. The quality of data on the IDBR is continually checked from the time of arrival (via HM Customs & Excise, the Inland Revenue,

These tables are an expansion of the local unit and enterprise data already produced and disseminated via the ONS publication UK Business: Activity, Size and Location -

2004 (previously called PA1003 - Size Analysis of UK Businesses). This publication

is compiled from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR), which contains

information on VAT traders and PAYE employers in a statistical register comprising 2.1 million enterprises, representing nearly 99% of UK economic activity. Also see 3

A small percentage (<0.1%) of addresses will have a partial postcode as the information received is not of sufficient quality to allocate a full

valid postcode. The result is that in a few cases the unit may be allocated incorrectly to an adjacent ward.

The Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) is the comprehensive list of UK businesses that is used by government for statistical purposes. It provides a sampling frame for surveys of businesses carried out by the ONS (Office for National Statistics)

and by other government departments. It is also a key data source for analyses of business activity.

changes between the 2004 data and the previous (2000) dataset: 1)An improvement in quality due to the treatment of addresses with missing postcodes previously allocated

to Southend-on-Sea. 2)The 2004 dataset excludes very small VAT registrations at a single management address, where this

address does not represent the location of the activities of the units, to avoid giving a

false impression of the number of businesses in these locations. At the time of this extract we were not able to identify all such cases

and as a result estimates for wards should be treated with caution. 3)The 2004 datasets

use CAS wards for England and Wales whereas the 2000 datasets use statutory

wards for the UK as they existed at the end of 1998 (see Data Quality section for further details). 4)For statutory wards, the PO Box

postcodes are assigned by a ‘point-in-polygon’ process using the grid references. CAS wards are derived from Output Areas

created for the 2001 Census. Census processing allocated grid references as

closely as possible to the physical location of the PO Box postcodes. This difference in

methodologies can result in different assignments even where the CAS and

statutory ward boundaries are the same. This effect in this dataset is apparent between the

City of London and Islington. Also see 3 other similar data sources for extra

The key users of this data are Government administration and departments, Local Authorities, Health Authorities and Fire & Police Authorities. The second largest user

group however is the general public. The Business Registers Unit produces 19 datasets in support of the UK Business: Activity, Size and Location publication. These datasets use Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) geographies for England and

Wales and present analysis of VAT registered businesses.

Work relating to implementing recommendations from the Allsopp ‘Review of Statistics for Economic Policymaking’ is

being undertaken within the Business Registers Unit to permit the inclusion of the remaining PAYE units that are currently

excluded from these datasets. The work has extended to the identification of additional units that are registered with

Companies House but are not included on the IDBR. While the work is proceeding we are continuing to exclude these units.

Comprehensive validation checks are carried out to check for inconsistencies in the data both by RDMD managers and at the DH, with queries sent back to RDMD

managers to resolve with agencies. Release of data is subject to the satisfactory validation of the data. Double counting of drug users is removed within RDMD

areas but is not removed within Regional Office areas where the Regional Office area is covered by more than one RDMD.

Submission of reports by drug treatment agencies of drug misusers to RDMD is on a voluntary (not statutory) basis. Furthermore, many

drug users in the population are not in treatment. For a broader picture of patterns of drug misuse, surveys such as the British Crime Survey where self-reported drug use data is collected may be useful. It should be noted that differences at HA of treatment level might be a

reflection of the variation in demand for services or the pattern of provision, and not necessarily an indication of drug misuse in the

local community.

This indicator is based on administrative procedures within the health service. It will therefore reflect decision making and other institutional practices which may vary across the country. Potential spatial variations, such as rural/ urban differences,

have been explored. There was no evidence to suggest that such differences introduced any underlying bias. The University of Oxford carried out checks to

quality assure the data.

The indicator provides an update to the indicator used in the Indices of Deprivation which has been used extensively by central and local government to identify areas that would benefit from additional resources. The indicator, used in conjunction with those used in the construction of the Indices of Deprivation 2004 will help to: better understand the dynamics of areas with relatively high rates of people admitted for

emergency hospital treatment; identify small pockets of deprivation and help to ensure that government policies continue to be targeted at those most in need.

these data represent a 'standardised measure' of emergency admissions, rather

than an absolute count or percentage of emergency admissions. In this case it is

assumed that a figure of 100 is the value that we would expect to find given the age and

sex distribution within the area. All areas do not have the same expected values of

emergency admissions due to their different age/sex distributions. However, for the

purposes of this indicator all expected values are taken as 100. Therefore, a figure of less

than 100 indicates that fewer emergency admissions are evident in that area

compared to the expected figure given the age/sex distribution in the area. Conversely, a figure greater than 100 shows that more emergency admissions are evident in that

area compared to the expected figure given the age/sex distribution in the area.

Presenting data in this way provides a consistent basis for comparison between areas, allowing the data to be ranked in a

meaningful way.

LAs check the data prior to submission to the Housing Data and Statistics Department of the DCLG. Validation procedures built into the electronic data collection system are used to check that the data are correctly recorded. In

particular, there are three main checks: Sum Checks, Range Checks and Range Checks. The data are also manually checked by the Housing Data and Statistics

Department of the DCLG. Any errors or anomalies are either corrected or sent back to the relevant LA to be resolved.

There is a requirement for financial management purposes to keep records up-to-date. These data are therefore likely to be accurate,

up-to-date and consistent across LAs. However, there are known to be variations between LAs in the way that they administer the register

of housing applications, the frequency with which the Housing Register is updated and the methods used for updating the register. variations between LAs in the way that they administer the register of housing applications, the frequency with which the Housing Register

is updated and the methods used for updating the register. At LA level, 7% of total entries are missing. This is due to incomplete

returns and methods used to safeguard the confidentiality of the data (see ‘Disclosure Control’ Section). 3% of the missing entries are due to LAs not making the returns or providing incomplete returns to the

Housing Statistics Department of the ODPM.

This information is used by Central Government to develop housing needs indices, respond to parliamentary questions and for general policy development on housing

issues. The data are also used by LAs for management purposes or to assist with the continued development of housing strategy and business planning.

Questions included on the Census form, the design of the form itself and the administrative procedures involved in collecting Census data underwent substantial testing. Coding of the data was subject to quality checks. The quality of the results was improved by the use of edit and imputation procedures for missing or incorrect

data and the One Number Census process was used to correct for under-enumeration. Following this, the results have undergone an extensive quality

assurance process, including checks against administrative records and sources of information on particular groups such as students. In addition, the University of

Oxford carried out checks to quality assure the derived indicator.

The Indices of Deprivation have been used extensively by central and local government to identify areas that would benefit from additional resources. The Indices

have, for example, been used to identify areas eligible for Neighbourhood Renewal Funding and Stamp Duty Exemption. The Indices of Deprivation 2004 provides a

better method for identifying small pockets of deprivation and will help to ensure that government policies continue to be targeted at those most in need.

Data for local authorities and regions can be accessed via a separate NeSS publication ‘Notifiable Offences Recorded by the Police’. Although the differences will be fairly minor, aggregation of the data to local authority level may not match

exactly with LA-level data held on NeSS, or the information previously published by the Home Office and police forces.

The data cover only the four police force areas Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, West Yorkshire and West Midlands. Information from the remaining forces (in England and Wales) will be collated where

Current government targets aim to reduce crime and the fear of crime, and to reduce the gap between areas. The current Public Service Agreement target for the Home Office is to reduce overall crime levels by 15% (and more in high crime areas) by

2007/08. It should be noted that overall crime is measured by the British Crime Survey (BCS), which is regarded as a more accurate measure of total crime, since it includes offences that do not come to the attention of the police. However, due to restrictions in

sample size it is not possible to make BCS data available at small area level.

It should be noted that although the information available via NeSS does not

represent complete national coverage, crime data at small area level is key to targeting

neighbourhoods most in need. For example, crime levels are a key indicator used in identifying ‘Regeneration Areas’, which

receive Neighbourhood Renewal funding. As at March 2006 there were 88 such areas

Data for local authorities and regions can be accessed via a separate NeSS publication ‘Notifiable Offences Recorded by the Police’. Although the differences will be fairly minor, aggregation of the data to local authority level may not match

exactly with LA-level data held on NeSS, or the information previously published by the Home Office and police forces.

The data cover only nine police force areas (Leicestershire; Lincolnshire; Northamptonshire; Nottinghamshire; Metropolitan;

Cleveland; Durham; Northumbria; and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary). Information from the remaining forces (in England and Wales) will be collated where possible in the future, and released on

an annual basis. Users should also note that the burglary (in premises other than a dwelling), wounding, harassment, assault, and

criminal damage categories are not available for the Lincolnshire Police Force Area.

Current government targets aim to reduce crime and the fear of crime, and to reduce the gap between areas. The current Public Service Agreement target for the Home Office is to reduce overall crime levels by 15% (and more in high crime areas) by

2007/08. It should be noted that overall crime is measured by the British Crime Survey (BCS), which is regarded as a more accurate measure of total crime, since it includes offences that do not come to the attention of the police. However, due to restrictions in

Questions included on the Census form, the design of the form itself, and the administrative procedures involved in collecting the Census data underwent

substantial testing. Coding of the data was subject to quality checks. The quality of the results was improved by the use of edit and imputation procedures for missing

or incorrect data, and the One Number Census process was used to correct for under-enumeration. Following this, the results have undergone an extensive quality assurance process, including checks against administrative records and sources of

information on particular groups such as students and the armed forces.

This is one of the set of Key Statistics tables produced from the 2001 Census. The Key

Statistics tables give summary results covering the full range of Census topics and

are presented in tabular format.

The data are derived from 100% administrative data (from the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS)), which is not subject to any sampling error. In October 2005 the Department moved to use WPLS data as the key National Statistic output.

Stringent and thorough quality checks have been applied to the WPLS data to ensure its accuracy and reliability as part of the Department’s Modernising

Statistical Publication project. DWP carry out extensive quality checks including measures to assess the accuracy, reliability, consistency and completeness of the

data. Procedures are constantly being updated and extended. Data are then forwarded to ONS, who in turn perform further consistency checks on all datasets

prior to their acceptance onto the NeSS website. In addition to checking that appropriate names and codes have been used, comprehensive numeric checks are

carried out by ONS to ensure that any anomalies in the data are investigated. Where there are data for a previous year, historic checks are performed to make

sure that new figures are comparable with the old. Any larger than expected percentage increases or decreases in values are examined. All queries are referred back to the data supplier for resolution. Allocations of claimants to all geographies

are very accurate.

Please note that the scans received from this source do not have accurate markers to indicate if a case is in receipt of income based JSA or not. Hence it is not possible to include this information within

the quarterly and yearly National Statistics. Due to the low numbers it has not been possible to give information on duration on benefit, although this can be found via the claimant count on the NOMIS

website.

The data provide a sound and reliable basis for comparing benefit claims at various geographies including Lower Layer Super Output Area and Data Zone level. The information should help those in Central Government, Local Authorities and other organisations who are working on a range of initiatives relating to deprivation and

worklessness.

Jobseekers Allowance replaced Unemployment Benefit and Income Support for unemployed people on 7 October 1996. It is payable to people under pensionable age who are available for, and actively seeking, work of at least 40 hours a week. Certain

groups of people, including carers and those with a physical or mental condition, are able

to restrict their availability to less than 40 hours depending upon their personal

circumstances.

As with the indicators used in the generation of the English Indices of Deprivation 2004, this indicator can be used to help identify small pockets of health deprivation; help central and local government to identify areas that would benefit from additional resources and can help to ensure that government policies continue to be targeted at

those most in need.

HES provides the only consistent, national database of all admitted patient care in NHS Trusts in England. Additional activity not covered includes outpatients,

Accident and Emergency attendances, admission of English patients to hospitals outside of England (unless NHS commissioned and recorded) and primary care.

Before HES data is made available to users, it needs to undergo processing. Each record sent to HES is screened to check that data is valid. If the software finds an

invalid value, it changes the data according to a set of rules. This helps ensure that errors are corrected where possible. There are four processes in order:

Verification/Autocleaning/Validation and Derivation.

HES does not provide data on psychiatric morbidity within communities, only those who are seen by a consultant. Therefore individuals treated by their GP and prescribed antidepressants, for

example, would not be included.

This information on admissions under mental illness specialties at PCO-level is relevant to NeSS because providing the data at the lowest level of aggregation can show variations in the utilisation of services that would be masked at a higher level.

HES provides the only consistent, national database of all admitted patient care in NHS Trusts in England. Additional activity not covered includes outpatients,

Accident and Emergency attendances, admission of English patients to hospitals outside of England (unless NHS commissioned and recorded) and primary care.

The number of non-English persons receiving treatment in hospitals in England and those for whom insufficient information on residence

is available are included in the national totals of discharges and FCEs.

This information on FCEs and Live Discharges by primary psychiatric diagnosis at PCO-level is relevant to NeSS because providing the data at the lowest level of

aggregation can show variations in the utilisation of services that would be masked at a higher level. It also shows whether, for example, there are Live Discharges with a primary psychiatric diagnosis in deprived areas, and differences between how men

and women use mental health services. The inclusion of mental health data on NeSS is important, not least because people suffering from mental illness are among the most disadvantaged in society and can suffer a high degree of social isolation and

exclusion.

This dataset complements the following related dataset which can also be found on

the Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website: “Mental Illness: Admissions and

Admission Rates to NHS Hospitals by Age and Gender, 2002/03”.

The confidentiality of all data held on the IDBR is protected by the National Statistics Code of Practice and associated

Protocols and by specific legislation. The disclosure of data relating to individual undertakings without consent is prohibited under the Statistics of Trade Act 1947, the Value Added Tax

Act 1994 and the Finance Act 1969. In accordance with these requirements, measures have been taken to ensure that no

information about individual enterprises or local units is disclosed. All figures in this publication have been rounded to avoid disclosure, and where necessary additional measures have been taken to protect confidentiality. As a result, totals may not necessarily equal the sum of the categories, and the

sum of the lower geographies may not equal the higher geographies. In addition percentages may not always sum to 100 due to rounding. These analyses are based only on VAT-

registered enterprises. Tables including employment size bands exclude approximately 4,400 recent registrations with large

Data collected from the sampled workplaces via AES questionnaires are fed into an estimation process that enables results to be produced for the whole business

population. The results take the form of aggregate statistics, analysed by geography and industry, but are also a rich dataset from which many other small area

analyses, customised to need, can be derived

A biennial Sample Census had run from 1987 to 1993. The AES uses a smaller sample size in order to be more cost-efficient and timely

than the Sample Census.

The AES is the only source of employment statistics for GB analysed by local area and by detailed industrial classification (gender, full and part time employment splits

are also produced).

Overall 1.1% of transactions could not be allocated to an MSOA due to the lack of, or incompleteness of, the postcode. The proportion of

unallocated transactions ranged from 0% in Cambridge, Isles of Scilly and Sevenoaks, to 10.06% in Wigan. Consequently, sums of MSOAs may not equal Local Authority (LA) totals. The number of transactions

could in theory be under counted but could not be over counted. Registration is compulsory for all changes of ownership except leases

with less than 21 years to run. Solicitors acting for purchasers invariably register the transaction as quickly as possible after

completion. It is the view of the LR that under-recording is negligible. Such under-recording will not significantly affect the statistics. The

price data come directly from the contract and are audited. Deliberate misreporting of price would in most cases be fraud and is likely to be insignificant in volume. To minimise errors occurring in transcription,

the LR has quality control procedures to ensure there is no duplication of records and that postcodes are authentic. Further checks are made by CLG on receipt of the data to minimise the

presence of duplicate records.

Apparent consumption is the amount of timber (measured as raw wood material equivalent underbark) used as wood and wood products by people and industries in the United Kingdom. It is

calculated as total United Kingdom production plus imports, minus exports. This total does not include any allowance for recycled wood and paper that is recovered for use within the United Kingdom, but is reduced by the substantial net exports of recovered paper (see Table 3.3). Apparent consumption also differs from actual consumption by

the extent of changes in the level of stocks. It is not practical to collect information on actual consumption.

Targeted at decision-makers and those working in the planning and greenspace sectors. It is hoped that the work will incite debate on the quantity and quality of

woodland access in the UK, and the valuable role that woodland has to play in the greenspace debate. The work presents the various steps involved in creating targets

for woodland access, both to existing sites and through creation of new ones, and thereby includes a number of elements that may serve as useful tools for decision-

making at the local level.

MasterMap® TOID (land parcel) level for a sample of areas across England. This involved inspection of the land parcel level maps and validating that the

methodology was assigning the correct land uses. A baseline for comparison was achieved by viewing areas known to the operator, and interpretation of the

topographic elements of the map. The Generalised Land Use Database is designed as a streamlined and summary snapshot of land type covering all of England. The original contractor's assessment of the accuracy of the methodology at ward level

suggested it provided fairly good matching with a fuller National Land Use Database (NLUD) classification of land use, for a sample area. However, validation showed that there are cases where at the detailed local level the classification of TOIDs

does not always exactly match known uses. For example, in some situations Domestic Building TOIDs might be classed as Non-Domestic Buildings, and vice versa as a result of the rules for classification, the nature of the underlying source data, and the streamlined approach of this generalised methodology. The review process revealed that GLUD 2005 statistics are more accurate than those GLUD

Because of changes in the underlying MasterMap® data source, users should note that ‘Generalised Land Use Database 2005 (Enhanced Basemap)’ statistics can NOT be

compared with ‘Generalised Land Use Database 2001’ statistics for time series

analysis.

The data are entered through the Data Entry/Monitoring tool, which is provided to all local authority planning departments on CD ROM. This is a Microsoft AccessTM

database / user interface, which supports data entry and update functions, standard import and export of data, and report generation. The tool allows some basic

checking, does not permit missing data in key fields, and allows users to choose only from a list of pre-codes in certain fields. Further checks are applied in a

validation stage on receipt by DCLG. Among other things, checks are made that sites present in an earlier year are either recorded as still present or positively recorded as having been redeveloped. The data are edited if necessary. The

returned figures are examined by DCLG and any unexpected figures are corroborated by checking with the local planning authorities concerned. In 2001, English Partnerships also validated the returns for 74 authorities by surveying the

district and amended the "degree of completeness" figures (see ‘Edit and Imputation’ and ‘Accuracy’ sections) in 46 cases. However his process has not been repeated since that time. Data are forwarded to ONS, who in turn perform

further consistency checks on all datasets prior to their acceptance onto the Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website. In addition to checking that appropriate LA names and codes have been used, comprehensive numeric checks are carried out by ONS to ensure that any anomalies in the data are investigated. All queries

are referred back to the data supplier for resolution.

The strength of the database is that it provides the only comprehensive national picture of brownfield land. The weaknesses

are use of older data for some local authorities, restriction to England, and some inconsistency between local authorities in how completely

they identify the brownfield land in their areas. There is particular uncertainty for estimates of vacant buildings because of the difficulty of reporting on large numbers of small sites. Due to the commercial sensitivity of some categories, a full breakdown of all variables is not available at LSOA - only totals are given for four of the five previously developed land types. The main concerns relate to the completeness in coverage of sites by the local planning departments who make the

returns. This incompleteness occurred for three main reasons: 1) Local planning authorities did not provide a return; 2) Authorities

made a return, but were only able to provide partial information on certain land categories; 3) Authorities made a return, but were not

able to provide any information on certain land categories.

The information is collected to facilitate the redevelopment of brownfield land, to help local authorities minimise the use of greenfield land and to monitor the feasibility of

meeting the government's targets for at least 60% of new dwellings to be on previously-developed land or in conversions.

This dataset was revised and released on the Neighbourhood Statistics website in

November 2006. It is a revision to the dataset previously published in March 2006. The reason for this revision is that NeSS was

supplied with an incorrect dataset, where two of the data columns were transposed with each other. The two transposed columns

were ‘Derelict Land and Buildings' and 'Vacant Buildings'. This also affected the

values in four other related columns – those being ‘Vacant Buildings: Suitable for

Housing’, ‘Vacant Buildings: Estimated Dwellings’, ‘Derelict Land and Buildings: Suitable for Housing’, ‘Derelict Land and

Buildings: Estimated Dwellings’.

Because the object of the project was to provide a graphical summary of the situation of ‘health poverty’, the data development principle applied has been one of maximum access to information

rather than maximum precision in the data. If we had not applied this principle, there would have been very few indicators available in the

timeframe of the project. We do not believe the data is inaccurate but as with all new indicators, some caution should be applied when using them. We have given full descriptions of how the variables were generated and so the user can judge how much weight they

would like to place on any one indicator.

HES go through several stages of data quality checks and measures to make the data as useable as possible. A number of checks are employed throughout the year to monitor the data and a dialogue exists between trusts and the HES data quality team to help resolve problems before the end of each financial year. HES cleaning

processes are then applied to pick up anomalies in the data set.

HES is reliant on trusts to provide complete, accurate and reliably coded data and some inaccuracies will remain where it is not possible

to compensate for shortcomings.

HES provides the only consistent, national database of all admitted patient care in NHS Trusts in England. Additional activity not covered includes outpatients, Accident

The ALC is a basis for assessing how development proposals affect agriculture within the planning system, but it is not the sole consideration. Local planning authorities are

guided by PPS7 to also take into account the value of land in agriculture for its environmental or heritage attributes, for example. Other factors include impact on

farm size and structure, use of buildings and other fixed equipment (including irrigation and drainage), or any stimulus the development might give to rural economic

activity, for example in demand for renewable energy.

The data is intended for use at the catchment or national scales only. Errors and uncertainty increase with smaller spatial scales. The

smallest spatial resolution to which the data has acceptable error is 3km x 3km, although how this varies geographically is known and

should be used with care.

Apparent consumption is the amount of timber (measured as raw wood material equivalent underbark) used as wood and wood products by people and industries in

the United Kingdom. It is calculated as total United Kingdom production plus imports, minus exports. This total does not include any allowance for recycled wood

and paper that is recovered for use within the United Kingdom, but is reduced by the substantial net exports of recovered paper (see Table 3.3). Apparent

consumption also differs from actual consumption by the extent of changes in the level of stocks. It is not practical to collect information on actual consumption

Data relates only to mills which use UK grown roundwood in the production of paper (integrated pulp and paper mills)

Figures are not available for the quantity broken down by the country in which the mill is located, which could disclose data for individual

mills.

Held as a useful dataset in our GIS, for e.g. site acquisition, mapping and knowledge of other woodland areas, and landscape action for improved biodiversity

This information is used by local councils, central government and industry at all stages of the mineral extraction operation, from initial exploration, through planning

the mine or quarry to post-closure redevelopment.

This product contains the complete set of vector (re-usable) boundaries for for urban areas and settlements in England and Wales. Boundaries are provided for all the

areas of urban land for which Census results have been provided - both urban areas with at least 1,500 residents in 2001 and settlements with fewer than 1,500 residents

in 2001 - and allow the exact boundaries (rather than the approximation by Output Areas) of areas of urban land to be loaded into most standard GIS systems




Defra’s Sustainable Farming and Food Strategy was published in December 2002 and identified a set of indicators to monitor sustainability in farming and food. They have

been selected to cover the economic, environmental and social pillars of sustainability in agriculture and the food chain and have been published as part of the SFFS

Forward Look

Estimated as +/- 0.1mm from source document; based on visual comparison with published maps which are only accurate to nearest 80ha.

The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) provides a method for assessing the quality of farmland to enable informed choices to be made about its future use within the planning

system. It helps underpin the principles of sustainable development

Some boundaries of features traced from 1:10,000 scale Ordnance Survey raster mapping, some traced from Ordnance Survey Land-Line; quality control against

draft maps. It represents a snap shot in time and may not include amendments to the agreement boundary.

Positional accuracy estimated as +/- 0.1mm from source document; based on visual comparison with plots

to inform policy decisions and to help monitor and evaluate current policies, especially their impact on farm businesses, and the farmers

that depend on them

Survey provides information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses in England, to inform policy decisions on matters affecting farm businesses and to enable analysis of impacts of policy options. It is

intended to serve the needs of farmers, farming and land management interest groups, government (both national and European), government partners, and

researchers

Statistical error associated with sample sizes together with non response bias which cannot be measured but is evident within a

postal survey. Data has to be weighted to be representative.

Possible improvements if interviewer asked question rather than the survey being self completion. This would increase

quality of data and reduce non response bias.

There are currently no data on new stewardship schemes initiated in 2005, but measures are to be established and this

indicator will be revised accordingly. Data are available for earlier schemes.
