Footnotes

  1. All data refers to the first time a code is issued and validated, hence the same child will only appear in their first term using the code.
  2. Eligibility Checking Service data was aggregated to local authorities using the child's postcode, and the ONS August 2024 postcode directory. This means that codes validated will not align with the total aggregated using the provider postcode, which is relevant to funding. This also means that validation rates can only be between 0% and 100%.
