Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to release an updated progress report of the indicators included in the Social justice: transforming lives report published in March 2012.
The indicators from the Social Justice Outcomes Framework were replaced by the Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families indicators. On 4th April 2017, the Government published Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families which set out a framework for a continued focus on improving children’s long-term outcomes. This included publishing nine national indicators and underlying measures to track progress in tackling the disadvantages that affect families’ and children’s outcomes. The Government has a statutory duty to report data annually to Parliament on two of the nine indicators and made a commitment to publish the latest data on the seven non-statutory indicators each year.
The Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families indicators were last updated on 28th March 2018 and can be found in the attached document.
