Child Support Agency arrears data
The Child Support Agency (CSA) Arrears Tables are suspended due to a data issue leading to missing cases within a source dataset. The remaining information does not provide a meaningful overview for CSA arrears data on its own.
The issue is being investigated. Once a solution is in place, we will reinstate the statistical series as soon as possible within the routine publication schedule, in line with the UK Statistics Authority Code of Practice for Statistics. We plan to reinstate the series in the publication due on 28 March 2023. In the event that the data issue cannot be resolved by then, a further update will be provided.
