Individuals can be referred to, and start, IPES more than once. The total number or referrals, starts, and outcomes by financial year is provided below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Year 1: <br /> <del class="ministerial">April</del> <ins class="ministerial">December</ins> 2019 to March 2020</p></td><td><p>Year 2: <br /> April 2020 to March 2021</p></td><td><p>Year 3: <br /> April 2021 to March 2022</p></td><td><p>Year 4: <br /> April 2022 to January 2023*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Referrals</p></td><td><p>1,060</p></td><td><p>4,295</p></td><td><p>5,410</p></td><td><p>3,550</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Starts</p></td><td><p>780</p></td><td><p>2,590</p></td><td><p>3,020</p></td><td><p>2,425</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lower threshold outcomes</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>190</p></td><td><p>990</p></td><td><p>760</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Higher threshold outcomes</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>115</p></td><td><p>740</p></td><td><p>725</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>*Financial year ongoing</p><p> </p><p><strong>Please note</strong></p><p> </p><ul><li>The data recorded in the IPES dataset does not meet the standards required to be included in the Official Statistics. <strong>Please</strong> <strong>treat all values as guide figures rather than actual figures.</strong></li><li>No outcomes are recorded against year 1 because of the time lag before outcomes are recorded, and the fact there were only a small number of starts in year 1, all towards the end of the year. IPES provision supports participants for up to 15 months, this means it can take some time before an outcome is achieved, therefore some outcomes shown in later years will be for participants who started the programme in earlier years.</li><li>Figures are rounded to the nearest 5.</li><li>The data for higher and lower threshold outcomes includes both employed and self-employed outcomes.</li><li>Employment outcomes for IPES are paid when participants achieve the minimum thresholds, identified through HMRC Real Time Earnings data, and can be achieved at any point within the 639-day period that they are on programme (456 days support plus 182 days ‘In Work Support’, where required). Therefore, some outcomes in later years will be from people who started in earlier years:</li></ul><p><strong>Lower threshold Outcome </strong>(LTO) - Earnings equivalent to 16 hours per week for 91 days, at the adult rate (age 25 and over) of the National Living Wage, or a cumulative period of not less than 91 days’ self-employment.</p><p><strong>Higher threshold Outcome</strong> (HTO) - Earnings equivalent to 16 hours per week for 182 days, at the adult rate (age 25 and over) of the National Living Wage, or a cumulative period of not less than 182 days’ self-employment.</p><ul><li>Any self-employed outcomes will have been paid when participants have been trading for the set time periods of 91 (LTO) or 182 (HTO) days and providers have sufficient evidence to confirm that the outcome is valid – these will also be achieved within the same 639-day period.</li><li>More information on how outcomes are calculated can be found on the Gov.UK website under Intensive Personalised Employment Support provider guidance - Chapter 7.</li></ul><p> </p>
