Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework

The Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) is used both locally and nationally to set priorities for care and support, measure progress and strengthen transparency and accountability. The Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) measures how well care and support services achieve the outcomes that matter most to people.

Census

Although the most recent Census was a few years ago in 2011, it’s still a useful source of information about the population and its characteristics. We’ve included the most frequently requested Census data on our reports and maps.

If you want to see more of the Census key statistics for an area, the Local Area Report on nomis is very good. Type in a postcode and choose whether to look at its ward, built-up area or other geographies. Or you can type in the ward name.

For the full range of Census tables, go to Census data on nomis

Children & Young People

On our Children and Young People profile we publish figures about the children who live in the area, rather than individual school performance data.

For comparing school performance, use the government’s Compare school performance service
This provides information on individual school performance and context, and also information aggregated to local authority and other levels. Search for primary, secondary and special needs schools and colleges near you and check their performance.

You can view and download:

  • exam and test results
  • Ofsted reports
  • financial information

For a wide range of analysis and data from the Department for Education, including children’s social care go to Statistics at DfE

Crime, fires and road traffic accidents

Government figures on crime levels and trends for England and Wales are based on two sets of statistics:

1. Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW)
2. Police recorded crime data

The Crime Survey for England and Wales can’t be used at geographies smaller than a region because of small numbers, so we use police recorded crime data on the Leeds Observatory from data.police.uk. To learn more about crime statistics, read the latest statistical bulletin published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) Crime in England and Wales. The ONS also publish user guides to crime statistics – Crime and justice methodology

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service statistics about deliberate and accidental fires are available from Data Mill North fire data

Leeds road traffic accident statistics are also available from Data Mill North road traffic accidents data
