SARs Documentation
Please note that this page is not kept up-to-date. For current documentation please see the guide to the SARs.
It is essential that users obtain and read the relevant documentation in order to make sense of the data.
We recommend that new users view the Quick guide to the SARs, training document and appropriate codebooks.
SAR files contain both original variables, obtained directly from ONS and variables derived from these by CCSR. When seeking information about a variable, or for a list of variables, you may need to check the codebook for both the original and derived variables.
Copies of 1991 Questionnaires and Definitions are available from the Survey Question Bank
