DCEDIY Statistical Database

The Statistical Database will serve as a central location for users to access data relevant to the well-being of children and young people. The key objective of the database is that all frequently requested data non confidential data will be available on the website for all users in an easily accessible format and will be regularly updated.

Initially, the data will be drawn from 'The Indicator Set for Better Outcomes Brighter Futures' and from the biennial 'State of the Nation's Children' reports. Subsequent disaggregated data intended to supplement the Better Outcomes Brighter Futures Indicator Set will also be included in the repository, as will other commonly used relevant data.

The database will contain a search facility that enables users to find data of interest or get answers to tailor-made requests. Users can sub-set a dataset, restructure it and display it on screen or download it in a file-type of their choice.
