Thank you for your recent request for child homicide rates.
As standard ONS publish mortality data by 5 year age bands rather than single year of age.
Data on death by underlying cause, sex and 5 year age band are published the period 2001-2013 available on the ONS website in the 21st Century Mortality files here.
Special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries should be made to: mortality@ons.gov.uk. We recommend that you contact the Mortality Analysis team directly in order to discuss your data requirements in more detail.
As this information is already available to you via this route ONS considers that S21(1) applies to this request and the information does not have to be supplied under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. S21(1) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
