What this measures

Initial case outcomes on asylum claims (people, main applicants and their dependants) in each quarter, split by outcome group: grant of protection, grant of other leave, refused, withdrawn and administrative outcome.

Appeal outcomes, or the final share of claimants allowed to stay. The total of all outcome groups includes withdrawals and administrative outcomes, which the summary initial decisions figure (grants plus refusals) excludes.
