Updated: Arrears column added to the Child Support Agency quarterly summary of statistics regional tables June 2013
These publications contain national statistics on child maintenance schemes operated through the Child Support Agency (CSA) up to June 2013.
DWP is responsible for the child maintenance system in Great Britain. We fund information and support for separating parents and runs the statutory child maintenance schemes, currently operated through the CSA.
DWP assumed responsibility for the CSA from the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission on 1 August 2012, following an announcement on 14 October 2010 that the Commission would become an executive agency of DWP as part of the Public Bodies Reform. The Commission had responsibility for the CSA between the 1 November 2008 and 31 July 2012, prior to that DWP had responsibility for the CSA.
During final quality assurance checks on the June 2013 CSA quarterly summary of statistics, we identified a potential issue with arrears distribution figures. While this issue is being investigated, ‘Table 9: arrears distribution’ will remain as of March 2013. The ‘arrears owed’ columns within the ‘Child Support Agency quarterly summary of statistics regional tables June 2013’ has been removed. Once investigations are complete and any potential issues resolved we will re-issue these statistics.
