answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>The Department is currently exploring ways to utilise the data it collects on education, training and employment outcomes further, with a view to publishing more comprehensive data on educational outcomes in the future. However, there are currently no plans to publish NCCIS data from local authorities at ward level.</p><p> </p><p>The Department applies data suppression and rounding protocols when publishing data to ensure that individuals cannot be identified. This means that estimates produced for very small sub-groups within the population, such as 16 and 17 year olds in each of more than 7,000 wards in England, are unlikely to lead to meaningful results for comparison between wards or within wards over time.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 13/12/2016 16:01:10 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
