Footnotes
- Local authority response rates to the data collection vary by census date. To account for non-response, where required national and regional figures have been uprated based on local authority pupil populations.
- CME counts will vary depending on the population within the local authority, which may change over time. Increased identification of CME may also result from improved recording and support practices within local authorities. High or low counts of CME do not necessarily reflect ‘good’ or ‘bad’ practice.
- A figure that rounds to 0, but is not 0 is denoted by 'low' - for rate of CME this is a figure less than 0.5%.
