Access to the Family Resources Survey
Although the FRS was designed with the DWP's needs specifically in mind, it also contains information that is of interest to other government departments and outside researchers.
Data Archive
Each year the FRS database is deposited at the Data Archive at Essex University.
Question Bank
Background information on the dataset and copies of the FRS questionaire can also be accessed through the Question Bank at Surrey University.
Data Release and Control
The Family Resources Survey Data Release and Control sets out the DWP Family Resources Survey policy on release and control of the survey data. This covers the test releases through to the public release within the department, across government and to research organisations.
This protocol adheres to the National Statistics Code of Practice and is based upon work carried out for external data release with the Office for National Statistics and the Microdata Release Panel, which advises ONS.
