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.
- For 2024, the total figures include 3,473 EHC plans for Hackney, however details such as age, establishment type and characteristics are not available for the majority of these plans. These breakdowns will therefore not sum to the total number of plans for 2024. Percentages shown use the number of plans where the establishment, age or characteristic is known as the denominator.
- 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.
