</p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>Eligible claimants who have recently begun their Universal
Credit claim, and are actively searching for work, start in the Youth Employment Programme
element of the Youth Offer. A Work Coach may later refer them to a Youth Hub, Youth
Employability Coach or other employment support as appropriate based on their needs.</li><li>When
a claimant starts on any of the three elements of the Youth Offer, this is recorded
as a start on that element, as well as a start on the Youth Offer.</li><li>A claimant
may take part in multiple elements of the Youth Offer. They may start any element
of the Youth Offer multiple times. Each of these starts is recorded as a start on
the Youth Offer.</li><li>Claimants do not take part in multiple elements of the Youth
Offer simultaneously.</li><li>Data for Youth Hubs and Youth Employability Coaches
is not available prior to April-21.</li><li>Youth Hub and Youth Employability Coach
data is produced from a manual process and although care is taken when processing
and analysing Youth Hub and Youth Employability Coach referrals, the data collected
might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system
which features manual data. Therefore, Youth Hub and Youth Employability Coach figures
are likely to underestimate the number of young people who have started at a Youth
Hub and/or with a Youth Employability Coach.</li></ol><ol start="7"><li>Figures have
been rounded to the nearest 100. Therefore, the individual elements in the table may
not sum to the total figure.</li><li>Figures are subject to retrospective revision.</li></ol>
