Story Packs for Journalists

One-page PDF briefings, print-resolution charts, CSVs and copy-ready key figures. Every number is read directly from an official dataset and carries its source and as-of date.

How to use these packs: each pack bundles a section of this site into ready-to-file assets: a one-page PDF briefing, the key figures as Markdown and plain text (with source lines), the underlying data as CSV, and the headline charts as print-resolution PNGs. Free for reuse with attribution to Deported.co.uk (underlying data: UK government official statistics, Open Government Licence v3.0). Packs are regenerated when the official data updates; last generated 15 July 2026, 18:27.

Reuse, licensing and caveats

Attribution. Content in these packs is free for reuse with attribution to Deported.co.uk. The underlying figures are UK government official statistics published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
As-of dates matter. Each pack states the period its figures cover; official series are revised in later releases, and recent quarters are often provisional.
Headline basis. Returns figures follow the Home Office definition: returns = enforced + voluntary. People refused entry at port and subsequently departing are counted separately throughout.
Snapshots vs flows. Accommodation and caseload figures are point-in-time counts; arrivals and returns are flows over a period. The packs label which is which.
Regeneration. Packs are rebuilt from the site's data files after each official release; this set was generated on 15 July 2026, 18:27. The live pages always carry the newest data.
