In paragraph 40, what is the form of the data that HEFCE will provide?
This work on updating and extending our measures of young participation is underway and data are expected to be published in the autumn. HEFCE will provide a measure of young participation by small areas and identify sets of areas ranked by participation or other measures such as the Index of Multiple Deprivation. We will also provide a look-up between postcodes and any new participation groupings similar to the existing POLAR postcode lookup. We are also running a pilot exercise to seek views on extending the type of information we can provide through services like POLAR.
