 l Policy and Analysis Lab\, University of Manchester.\n\nWith the releas
 e of the updated Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) in November\, this

 .\n\nMeasuring relative deprivation across seven domains\; Income\, Empl
 oyment\, Education\, Skills and Training\, Health and Disability\, Crime
 \, Barriers to Housing and Services\, and Living Environment\, as well a
 s deprivation affecting children and the elderly. The IMD gives a pictur

 together domain experts and data practitioners to help people understand
  the data and answer questions about its underlying methodology\, what t
