Surrey - Child Wellbeing Index

The Child Well-being Index (CWI) represents the first attempt to create a small area index exclusively for children in England. Unlike the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), the CWI was restricted by the availability of data as many datasets are not disaggregated by age group. Data on children is largely collected through surveys which are not robust enough to be broken down to small area level.

The CWI follows a similar approach, structure and methodology as that used in the IMD 2007. Lower scores indicate higher levels of wellbeing

Data for wards and MSOAs are weighted averages of the constituent LSOA scores and are not part of the official publication

Data is for "CAS wards" which were in place at the time of the 2001 Census.

Frequency: Indices of Deprivation (3 years)
