Child Support Agency Quarterly Summary Statistics

The latest National Statistics for the Child Support Agency were released by the Department for Work and Pensions on the 20 February 2013 according to arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

From the September 2012 release the publication timetable for the CSA Quarterly Summary of Statistics has changed. We will now be releasing the publication approximately six weeks after the end of the period the statistics relate to. This is to allow for receipt of the data required, and for full quality assurance to be carried out. Our publication timetable can be found on the UKSA Publication Hub.

The Department for Work and Pensions is responsible for the child maintenance system in Great Britain. It funds information and support for separating parents and runs the statutory child maintenance schemes, currently operated through the Child Support Agency. This publication contains the most up-to-date tables and breakdowns on the CSA's two existing statutory child maintenance schemes up to December 2012.
