Local Resilience Forums: Names and Codes for England

Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) in England are listed with their official names and administrative codes as of August 2016. The dataset is published under an open government license by the UK's Office for National Statistics and is available on multiple data platforms. Its primary content is a directory of the multi-agency partnerships responsible for coordinating local emergency response.

Use Cases

• Mapping emergency response jurisdictions based on LRF administrative codes.
• Linking local incident reports to coordinating bodies using the forum names.
• Analyzing the geographic coverage of civil resilience partnerships in England.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative Office for National Statistics.
• Available under the permissive OGL-UK-3.0 open government license.
• Present on multiple official data platforms (UK and EU), indicating cross-government use.

Limitations

• The dataset is static and dated August 2016, so it may not reflect current LRF structures or mergers.
• Column names and detailed schema are not provided in the available metadata.
• One source lists a future 'last updated' date of 2026-07-08, which is a clear metadata conflict.
