Great Britain's Child Tax Credit (CTC) administrative data for 2005 and 2006 provides support information for families with children and qualifying young people.

• Tracking changes in support for young people in education between the two available years (2005-2006).

Strengths

• Data covers two complete tax years (2005 and 2006).
