The Dumping Ground Survival Files is a CBBC television miniseries featuring various Dumping Ground characters giving information on how to survive in the Dumping Ground. The show was made to accompany Series 2 of The Dumping Ground, it shows archive footage from Tracy Beaker Returns and interviews with characters.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Dumping Ground had to have a transmission break, and therefore, a third series of The Dumping Ground Survival Files was commissioned, with filming being done remotely and on the set of The Dumping Ground. Series 3 began on 6 November 2020 and aired during the transmission break of Series 8.
