The Local authority interactive tool (LAIT) has recently been updated (10 November 2023). It is a useful, government produced spreadhseet with a range of useful information about children and young people across all local authorities in England.
The website includes links to the tool itself plus a user guide and the Children’s services statistical neighbour benchmarking tool – this allows you to select a local authority and display its ‘closest statistical neighbours’ (local authorities with similar characteristics)..
LAIT includes data on:
- children looked after by local authorities
- child protection
- special educational needs and disability (SEND)
- pupil attainment
- children’s health
- post-16 circumstances
- judgements from Ofsted
You can access and downlad all the above on the DfE website using the link below. This is also listed on our Documents page
