This DWP guidance aims to help local partners understand the process of getting data and to think about the information required.
This guide will help you better understand:
-
the key considerations and constraints that frame what data can be provided
-
how to access the ‘small area’ data that DWP and other Government Departments already make publicly available
-
how to assess whether a formal data sharing request to DWP would be worthwhile if published data is not sufficient
-
how to prepare to succeed in the application process.
This guidance is not intended to be a substitute for specific legal advice on particular issues.
DWP also provides data sharing guidance for local authorities.
