This edition includes Main data, Civil detailed data, Client diversity data, Providers starts and completions by area data and Provider contracts data files. A Index of data in legal aid statistics is published as part of the help guides. This provides guidance on the data held in the more detailed data files and how to use them and can be found on help guides page.

The guide provides more detail on youth justice statistics presented in:

• the annual youth justice statistics bulletin
• the monthly youth custody report data tables and accompanying open data tables.

This is intended to be used as a guide to data sources, concepts and definitions.

The Home Office has changed the format of the published data tables for a number of areas (asylum and resettlement, entry clearance visas, extensions, citizenship, returns, detention, and sponsorship). These now include summary tables, and more detailed datasets (available on a separate page, link below). A list of all available datasets on a given topic can be found in the ‘Contents’ sheet in the ‘summary’ tables. Information on where to find historic data in the ‘old’ format is in the ‘Notes’ page of the ‘summary’ tables.

The Home Office intends to make these changes in other areas in the coming publications. If you have any feedback, please email MigrationStatsEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk.

Home Office guidance on the documents required and processes for returning immigration offenders to their country of origin.

These are the British English-language names and descriptive terms for sovereign countries, UK Crown Dependencies and UK Overseas Territories, as well as their citizens. ‘Sovereign’ means that they are independent states, recognised under international law.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) approved these names. The FCDO leads on geographical names for the UK government, working closely with the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names.

In these lists:

• ‘country’ is the https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html" class="govuk-link">2-letter ISO 3166-1 code for the country
• the ‘name’ is the FCDO-approved name for the country

• the full ‘official name’ is also provided for use when the formal version of a country’s name is needed

• citizen names in the lists are not the legal names for the citizen, they do not relate to the citizen’s ethnicity

You can also view the Welsh language version of the geographical names index on https://www.gov.wales/bydtermcymru/international-place-names" class="govuk-link">GOV.WALES: international place-names.

This is the National Data Guardian’s (NDG’s) formal response to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s consultation Data: a new direction on the proposed reforms to data protection law in the UK.

This is not an exhaustive review of all the government’s proposals, but rather the NDG’s considerations and recommendations on those areas of the reforms that may impact the health and social care sector.

The appropriate use of data is essential to ensure continuous improvements in health and social care. The NDG is supportive of the government’s aim of building an improved data protection regime. As such, this response is intended to provide advice and feedback on areas of the consultation where the NDG believes further consideration might be necessary if the government is to achieve its stated aim.
