Child poverty measures: HM Customs and Revenue have published data on the proportion of children in poverty for 2010. The child poverty indicator measures the proportion of children in receipt of out of work benefits, or in receipt of tax credits where their reported income is less than 60% median income.

Local Alcohol Profiles for England 2012: The 2012 Local Alcohol Profiles for England 2012 have been added to Data Packs.

Denominator Revisions: Following the publication of the 2011 Census population estimates, we have revised some of the rates for the indicators we supply. Each indicator instance covering a time-points in 2011 and 2012 which previously used the ONS Mid Year Estimates as a denominator now use the more up 2011 Census denominator. As a result some rates have been revised.
