Footnotes
- From 2023, the data collection changed from aggregated figures at local authority level, to a person level collection. This has been a major change in approach and as such care should be taken with comparisons across this period. Further detail on the change is provided in the publication and supporting methodology.
- Some detailed information such as establishment type and characteristics are not available for some LAs, denoted by 'x' in the data. These breakdowns will therefore not sum to the total number of plans.
- Data on ethnicity and gender has been collected from 2023 only.
- This data item has been marginally impacted by reporting issues in some local authorities – please see the methodology for further information.
- The Office for National Statistics (ONS) uses the terms "ethnicity major" and "ethnicity minor" to categorize responses from the UK Census. Here's a brief explanation:Ethnicity Major: This refers to the broader ethnic group categories that people identify with. For example, "White," "Asian," "Black," "Mixed," and "Other" are considered ethnicity major categories1.Ethnicity Minor: These are the more specific sub-categories within the major ethnic groups. For instance, within the "Asian" major category, you might have sub-categories like "Indian," "Pakistani," "Bangladeshi," and "Other Asian".
