Statistics showing the number of English applicants awarded Maintenance Grants for study at UK providers each academic year are published annually by the Student Loans Company (SLC) in the Statistical First Release \u2018Student Support for Higher Education in England<\/em>\u2019. http://www.slc.co.uk/official-statistics/financial-support-awarded/england-higher-education.aspx<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There were a total of 567,000 Maintenance Grants awarded to English applicants at UK providers in the academic year 2013/14. Of these: 55% were female, 45% male, and 7% were also awarded a Disabled Students\u2019 Allowance (DSA). The split for woman and men is consistent with their representation in the student population where female students account for 56% of the total population. Complete data for the academic year 2014/15 will be published by the SLC in November 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
DSA has been provided as a proxy for disability. Information on the ethnicity of applicants is voluntary to return, with only a small proportion of applicants choosing to provide this information. As a result, breakdowns on ethnicity are unlikely to be reliable and have not been provided.<\/p>

Student loans are not like a bank loan or credit card. Repayments do not have to made if the borrower\u2019s income is below £21k. There is, therefore, no default rate as such, but a borrower who moves overseas and fails to repay even though they are earning over the threshold is in default.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Maintenance loans are either repaid during the loan term, or written off after 30 years, or if the borrower dies or becomes permanently unable to work as a result of disability. Provision for the cost of future write offs is made in BIS accounts each year. This is known as the RAB charge.<\/p>

There is no statutory obligation on an employer to provide a reference; although an employee may have a contractual entitlement to one if their contract of employment contained an express term to this effect. The Government does not think it would be right to intervene to require them to do so.<\/p>

Employers who do provide references are under a duty both to the employee and to prospective employers to take reasonable care in doing so. If evidence did come to light about misleading or inaccurate information - not merely unfavourable or critical of someone\u2019s performance in a previous job - the prospective employee would have the option of taking legal action in the civil courts against the source of that information.<\/p>"}
