We do not have this data.

Our primary source to assess the number of children in poverty is DWP’s Households Below Average Income (HBAI) publication, but this only provides data to a regional level and not at a Local Authority level.

There is no comprehensive source of published information on children in poverty in working households at a Local Authority level.
