You asked

How many children died in April to March 2022 Tax year?

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

We hold the following analysis Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional which provides weekly deaths by 5 year age band for 2021/2022.

Please note, this data is provisional and subject to change.


Non provisional 2021 data will be available in July 2022, which is to allow the inclusion of late registrations which are deaths which have been referred for Coroner investigation.

If you would like more specific age ranges, such as up to 18 only, we can create this as a bespoke request. This would be chargeable under the ONS Charging policy and subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, and resources. To access this route, please contact the HALE Customer Services Team on Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
