<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>
