/ Notes to Readers

Percentages - Percentages in this report may not sum to 100% to due rounding.

Local Authorities - Local Authority breakdown is based on the trainee's home address.

Disclosure Control - Disclosure control has been applied where figures are less than 5 or where such figures can be identified through differencing. Some local authorities will therefore not be displayed in graphs.

Comparison - Please note that age 16-24 population comparisons are not reliable across all local authorities due to small sample sizes. Figures

Gender - Gender comparison figures are from the Annual Population Survey (APS) - 16-24 Employed by Gender April 2019 to March 2020. - Levels have been collapsed to avoid disclosure of small numbers. - The 'Frameworks with the Highest Number of Starts' tables display the top 5 frameworks with the highest number of starts in the Local Authority by gender. Some local authorities may display top 3 frameworks for disclosure control purposes.

-The figures quoted in this report are in response to our disability monitoring question. This is aligned to the wording recommended Disability by Advance HE (formerly Equality Challenge Unit, ECU) after extensive consultation with disability partners, modern apprentices, training providers and employers. - Disability rates are calculated as the number of starts self-identifying an impairment, health condition or learning difficulty in 2019/20 as a percentage of the total starts, excluding those who selected 'prefer not to say'. - Some Local Authority rates may be based on small numbers.

Ethnicity - Ethnicity rates are calculated as the number of starts self-identifying an ethnic group in 2019/20 as a percentage of the total starts, excluding those who selected 'Prefer not to say'. - Some Local Authority rates may be based on small numbers.
