This measure provides a broad proxy for relative low-income child poverty as set out in the Child Poverty Act 2010, and enables analysis at a local level. Statistics are published at various levels of geography providing an annual snapshot as at 31 August from 2006 onwards. The definitive measure of the number of children in low-income families at national level, used for targets in the Child Poverty Act 2010, is contained in the DWP Households Below Average Income (HBAI) publication report.
