NRPF Connect provides the only UK-wide dataset drawn from case information relating to households requesting or receiving local authority support. The data demonstrates the costs incurred by councils through delivering support to households with no recourse to public funds when statutory social care duties are engaged to alleviate homelessness and destitution. The data also provides an insight into the people receiving support in terms of their immigration status, duration of support, and make-up of family households.
We publish the data on a quarterly basis and report on the collective data annually. We provide UK-wide data and regional data.
We use the data to inform the funding, policy and operational changes that are required in order to ensure that the vital safety-net provided by councils adequately safeguards the welfare of children, care leavers and adults with care needs, and to reduce the financial costs incurred by local government through delivering support.
