What this measures

The outcomes to date of asylum claims made by people who arrived by small boat, counted in the quarter the person arrived and split by outcome group — grant of protection, grant of other leave, refused, withdrawn, administrative outcome, or awaiting an initial decision.

Final outcomes after appeal. Outcomes are restated at every release as claims resolve, so recent quarters show many claims still awaiting a decision and their split will change.
