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.
- Independent Training Provider (ITP), Local Authority with an Education Remit, School Based Providers and Special Post-16 Institutions are a subgroup of Other Public Funded Provider and Private Sector Public Funded. Some providers within Other Public Funded Provider and Private Sector Public Funded do not fit into either of these four sub groups.
- The number of school based providers in scope in has reduced from 51 providers in 2021/22 to 33 in 2022/23. Therefore we expect to see a reduction in the number of staff in this provider type. Since school based providers are a subset of other public funded providers, we also expect to see a reduction in staff numbers for this group too.
- The number of independent training providers (ITPs) in scope in has reduced from 1025 providers in 2021/22 to 989 in 2022/23. Therefore we expect to see a reduction in the number of staff in this provider type. Since ITPs are a subset of private sector public funded providers, we also expect to see a reduction in total staff numbers for this group too.
- 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'.
