The data for ages of all children is available on Stat-Xplore with accompanying metadata for users to understand the definitions and coverage of these variables.
These additions to Universal Credit statistics have been made as part of the Universal Credit statistics release strategy and in response to user needs. These additions conclude the children in households on Universal Credit measure.
Software used for the interactive maps is no longer supported. These showed households on Universal Credit at the local authority level and people on Universal Credit at Jobcentre Plus level. The interactive maps have therefore been withdrawn and a replacement is currently under development.
Once completed and launched a new, interactive tool (called Examine-a-Stat) will have improved functionality, including interactive maps, to better meet a wider range of user needs. It will be available in due course, and the statistics are currently available on Stat-Xplore.
In addition to staff who are responsible for the production and quality assurance of the statistics, up to 24-hour pre-release access is provided to ministers and other officials. We publish the job titles and organisations of the people who have been granted up to 24-hour pre-release access to the latest Universal Credit statistics.
