Footnotes
- This release shows data for further education providers in England. The location that a provider is based in has been determined from the main site/head office recorded in the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) database in the Department for Education. This records the main site only and may not cover all locations or regions that a provider operates.
- All percentages and rates are rounded to 1 decimal place. Where figures have rounded to 0.0%, this may not necessarily indicate zero staff present for this measure.
- Management roles may include some teaching staff with additional responsibilities, or some managers of staff in support or admin roles. The types or number of managers may differ across provider types.
- This field shows the number of staff in the providers that responded to the data collection. This is presented here because vacancy rates are calculated from the responding providers only. If you would like estimates of the number of staff in all providers, these data can be found in tables titled 'Characteristics of further education workforce', 'Size of the further education workforce' or 'Subjects taught by teachers in further education providers'.
- We have not attempted to scale these figures to provide an overall estimate for all providers due to potential bias in the data return. Since Other Provider Type has a very low response rate to the vacancy data collection, vacancy rates for this provider type may not be representative.
