The LPC 2018 Report, containing the underpinning analysis and evidence used to make these recommendations, will be published on 27 November 2018. In previous years it has been published on the same day as the rates were announced, but the early Budget means that this has not been possible this year.
Read the CIPP’s summary of Budget 2018 for further details of announcements.

Real Living Wage increases £9 in UK and £10.55 in London 6 November 2018
The Living Wage Foundation has announced its increases to the voluntary living wage.
The rate for London has increased by 35p an hour to £10.55 and the rate for the rest of the UK has increased by 25p to £9 an hour.
Not to be confused with the Government’s National Living Wage, which is due to increase to £8.21 for over 25s in April 2019.
Living Wage Week 2018 runs from 5 November and the movement's annual celebration aims to raise awareness that earning the real Living Wage can make to individuals. Events take place all over the country to celebrate the impact and success of the living wage and to encourage more people to join the fight against low pay.
The real living wage is the only rate that is independently calculated every year to meet the real cost of living. It is voluntary, unlike the national minimum and living wage rates which are statutory.
