Statistics at Home Office
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-08)

Producing Home Office statistics that count.

We produce and publish timely, accurate and objective statistics in the form of commentary, tables and data on migration and borders, public safety, and homeland security.

Our statistics support the Home Office objectives, and inform government, Parliament and the public.

The Home Office statistical work programme 2023 to 2024 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-office-statistical-work-programme-2023-to-2024) gives further information on our teams and the statistical work covered by those teams.

Official statistics

Home Office official statistics are published independently as part of the code of practice for statistics. Many of these are national statistics and subject to assessment by the UK Statistics Authority. They must meet certain criteria, which include being:
- fit for purpose
- methodologically sound
- politically independent
- transparently produced
How accessible our statistics are

We are committed to making our statistical outputs accessible. We have reviewed our statistical outputs and made adjustments to bring the majority of outputs, published from 23 September 2020, in line with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 legislation (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/952/regulation/4/made).

Some statistical outputs the Home Office publishes after 23 September 2020 may not be fully accessible, but we are striving to make all publications fully compliant with the legislation in the future. To do this, we have introduced a phased approach that our statistics producers will follow that will see an accessible HTML version of statistical releases published alongside or in place of older formats. This will ensure that, in the long term, our statistical outputs will be fully accessible while continuing to meet the statistical needs of our users.

We recognise that not all our publications between 23 September 2018 and 23 September 2020 will be fully accessible. Therefore, we’re able to provide more accessible versions on an ad hoc basis. Whilst we appreciate there may be some interest to users of historical versions of publications, the latest editions are usually the most popular and relevant to users, so we are prioritising these accordingly.

In line with the legislation, we will provide a specific statistical publication in a different format if requested. For further enquiries contact the Direct Communications Unit (https://submit.forms.service.gov.uk/form/8939/contact-the-direct-communications-unit/No2UVUiQ).
