Te Atatū: Developing an indicator of disability


November 2022   |   Guidance


The Social Wellbeing Agency has worked with experts in Disabled People’s Organisations and in government to create a new proxy indicator based on government administrative data that can be used to explore outcomes of disabled people. This report summarises the work to create an indicator that identifies people who are likely to be disabled.

This work is part of the Disability Data and Evidence Working Group, chaired by Whaikaha, which is working on ways to improve the collection of data and statistics on disabled people.
