Added 1 July 08: Hertfordshire Additional Needs Database (HAND) report June 2008 - statistics relating to the number of children with disabilities in Hertfordshire. Follow this link to view the report. Follow this link to view additional data (graphs) related to the report.

The new Local Economy Assessment is now available on the Observatory. The latest version of the LEA is a departure from previous documents because it is now an ongoing resource rather than being a snapshot of Hertfordshire at one point in time.
