The number of registered company insolvencies in July 2021 was 1,094:

• 13% higher than the number registered in the same month in the previous year (965 in July 2020), but
• 24% lower than the number registered two years previously (pre-pandemic; 1,442 in July 2019).

In July 2021 there were 1,007 Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidations (CVLs), which was similar to pre-pandemic levels. The overall reduction in company insolvencies compared to July 2019 was driven mostly by the lower number of compulsory liquidations.

For individuals, 620 bankruptcies were registered, which was 34% lower than July 2020 and 58% lower than July 2019.

Numbers of Debt Relief Orders (DROs) in July 2021 were at their highest level since the start of the pandemic, with 1,864 DROs registered, following "https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-measures-to-help-vulnerable-people-in-problem-debt" class="govuk-link">changes to the eligibility criteria on 29 June including an increase in the level of debt at which people can apply for a DRO from £20,000 to £30,000. The number of DROs registered was 15% higher than July 2020 but remained lower than pre-pandemic levels (22% lower than in July 2019).

There were, on average, 6,841 IVAs registered per month in the three-month period ending July 2021, which is 7% lower than both the three-month period ending July 2020 and the three-month period ending July 2019.

Between the launch of the Breathing Space scheme on 4 May 2021, and 31 July 2021, there were 17,297 registrations, comprised of 17,098 Standard breathing space registrations and 199 Mental Health breathing space registrations.

This ad-hoc statistics release relates to changes to the eligibility criteria for debt relief orders (DROs) in England and Wales, which came into effect on 29 June 2021. It provides estimates of the number of individuals who started a DRO in the first year following the eligibility criteria change who would not have been eligible under the previous limits, broken down by which limit would previously have made them ineligible.

Notes

• The published data represents a snapshot of up to four most relevant KPIs for the period shown and does not represent a comprehensive assessment of the performance of the service, the contract or the supplier.
• Each KPI has been rated as one of the following:
  • Good – the supplier is meeting or exceeding the KPI targets that are set out within the contract.
  • Approaching Target – the supplier is close to meeting the KPI targets that are set out within the contract.
  • Requires Improvement – the performance of the supplier is below that of the KPIs targets that are set out within the contract.
  • Inadequate - the performance of the supplier is significantly below that of the KPIs targets that are set out within the contract.
  • Recorded elsewhere - data that is published by the department separately (link provided in Comments).
• “Other” in the Performance Analysis may include a KPI that was not used during the period and was still active, a service that was temporarily suspended or a contract that is being handled by another department.
• Contracts that are in their mobilisation phase are not included in datasets published from November 2020 onwards until the procured service is live.
• Expected KPI Return figures are updated when new in-scope contracts are identified.
• The information is owned by the contracting authority identified in the data file and any queries on this information should be sent to them. Details can be found in Departments, agencies and public bodies.
• DfID and FCO merged to create FCDO on 02 September 2020.
• From the October-December 2020 data, published in May 2021, data is listed by KPI and not by contract.

Additional Transparency Resources

The quarterly KPI data provided is in addition to other performance data provided by departments under existing transparency initiatives which cover different time periods (e.g. annual data) or measure service performance at a level higher than a single contract. Some examples include:

• https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk/" class="govuk-link">FCDO Development Tracker
• https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/performance/passenger-rail-performance/" class="govuk-link">Passenger Rail Performance
• Home Office Migration statistics
• Statistics at the Ministry of Justice

The government announced on Wednesday 19 January 2022 that it was no longer asking people to work from home, with all other Plan B measures in England being lifted by 27 January. Civil servants who had been following government guidance and working from home could then start returning to their workplaces.

This data presents the daily average number of staff working in departmental HQ buildings, for each week (Monday to Friday) beginning the week commencing of 7 February 2022.

Methodology

The data was originally gathered for internal purposes to indicate the progress being made by departments in returning to the workplace in greater numbers. Data was collected from Departmental HQ buildings to gain a general understanding of each department’s position without requiring departments to introduce data collection methods across their whole estate which would be expensive and resource intensive.

These figures incorporate all employees for the departments providing data for this report whose home location is their Departmental HQ building. The figures do not include contractors and visitors.

A listing of all Civil Service organisations providing data is provided.

Data on percentage of employees working in the HQ buildings are provided by departments

All data presented are sourced and collected by departments and provided to the Cabinet Office. The data presented are not Official Statistics.

There are 4 main methods used to collect the Daily Average Number of Employees in the HQ building:

• wifi and/or computer log-ins associated with location
• swipe pass entry data
• space or desk booking system
• manual count

This data does not capture employees working in other locations such as other government buildings, other workplaces or working from home.

It is for departments to determine the most appropriate method of collection.

Notes on measure of attendance in the workplace

The data provided is for Departmental HQ buildings only and inferences about the wider workforce cannot be made.

Work is underway to develop a common methodology for efficiently monitoring occupancy that provides a daily and historic trend record of office occupancy levels for a building.

Comparisons between departments

The data shouldn’t be used to compare departments. The factors determining the numbers of employees working in the workplace, such as the differing operating models and the service they deliver, will vary across departments. The different data collection methods used by departments will also make comparisons between departments invalid.

Calculations

Percentage of employees working in the HQ building compared to building capacity is calculated as follows:

Where daily average number of employees in the HQ building equals:

Collection periods

The data is collected weekly. Unless otherwise stated, all the data reported is for the time period Monday to Friday.

Definitions

In the majority of cases the HQ building is defined as where the Secretary of State for that department is based.

Current Daily Capacity is the total number of people that can be accommodated in the building.

Departments providi

The Department for Transport (DfT) publishes details of the permanent secretary’s external meetings and senior officials’ business expenses and hospitality on a quarterly basis.
