    Description

    The local authority interactive tool (LAIT) is an app that presents information in interactive tables and charts, along with local authorities’ rank positions in England and against statistical neighbours.

    It includes local authority, regional and national data on:

    • children looked after and adoption
    • child protection
    • the children’s social care workforce
    • special educational needs and disability
    • pupil attainment and attendance
    • children’s health
    • youth justice
    • post-16
    • finance

    The ‘Children’s services statistical neighbour benchmarking tool’ allows you to select a local authority and display its ‘closest statistical neighbours’ (local authorities with similar characteristics). The tool has been reviewed and rebuilt to include updated socio-economic variables from the 2021 census. More information is available in the associated update note and technical report.
