Skills for Londoners Strategy London Post-16 SEND Review

In 2019 the GLA commissioned education specialists Mime to provide an up-to-date picture of supply and demand of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision for 16-25 year olds in London. The Area Reviews of London’s Further Education provision and the London Adult Community Learning (ACL) Review recommended that more work should be done to determine future SEND demand to ensure that an evidence-based approach can be taken to planning post-16 SEND services. Mime, who specialise in obtaining insight from educational data to improve the life chances of young people, was appointed to conduct a London-wide SEND review. The purpose of the review was to identify the gap in post-16 SEND provision in London and produce a sustainable methodology for projecting demand that could inform future planning cycles. The project team included SEND specialists and was supported by a steering group that included a range of experienced stakeholders from across London. The project consisted of five parts; a demand model that projected the number of 16 to 25 year olds with EHCPs with different levels of learning support, an analysis of current supply, a gap analysis, an EHCP review, and stakeholder interviews. Key findings from the analysis were used to derive recommendations for the SEND sector in London. The review took place between January and July 2018.

Building on success: increasing higher education retention in London

The GLA commissioned the Social Market Foundation to look at the reasons behind the non-continuation (drop-out) rate of undergraduates studying at London’s higher education institutions. This report seeks to understand the factors affecting non-continuation and transfers at London universities. London’s non-continuation rate is 7.7%, which is much higher than the English average of 6.3%, and students in London are the most likely to transfer to another university compared to students in the rest of the country. We seek to build on previous SMF work by focusing on why students leave university in London and the report looks in-depth at the differences in retention by ethnicity and socio-economic status. This report draws on qualitative and quantitative evidence. Interviews were conducted with 20 individuals from London who attended and withdrew from a London university and quantitative analysis of HESA data on young students in London between 2013/14 and 2015/16.

London’s post-16 trajectories

As London recovers from the effects of COVID-19, it is vital that we understand the educational pathways for young people and do all we can to support them in their journey.We know that the negative impact of the pandemic has disproportionately affected young people. At this time, it is vital that young people receive high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance, and are fully supported in their study programmes.To establish a clearer understanding of what is driving post-16 education choices and performance in the capital, the GLA and London Councils commissioned Mime and the UCL Institute of Education to conduct research which tracked the pathways of 355,000 London residents from age 15 to 18.

Higher Level Skills in London

This research, commissioned by the GLA and undertaken by RCU, establishes a stronger evidence base regarding the place and value of higher level skills (courses, apprenticeships, and qualifications at levels 4 and 5) in London. The research highlighted the small, uneven and unstable nature of provision at Levels 4 and 5. Across the capital, there are few examples of centres with large numbers or dedicated specialisms at these levels. Overall participation by London residents in courses has decreased in recent years. The volume joining apprenticeships has increased, albeit from a low base. The representation of levels 4 and 5 in selected priority areas was also mapped through the research: tech and digital, culture and creative, health and social care, low carbon and environmental, and advanced urban services.The research recommended: additional organisational hubs closures and restructuring for the safeguarding of provision in light of mergers a needs analysis of the graduate workforce piloting of credit-based microqualification

Green Skills Adult Education Provision in London

The GLA commissioned independent research into the green skills which are expected to grow in demand as London moves to net zero. It uses GLA Economics’ Identifying Green Occupations to identify green skills currently being funded through the Adult Education Budget (AEB), along with relevant Level 4 and 5 qualifications and apprenticeship data. The report includes interviews with employers and providers which capture some of key challenges and opportunities to growing demand and supply for green skills provision. It sets out a number of recommendations to support the further growth and development of green skills provision in the capital.

Population by Nationality

This dataset shows different breakdowns of London's resident population by their nationality. Data used comes from ONS' Annual Population Survey (APS).The APS has a sample of around 320,000 people in the UK (around 28,000 in London). As such all figures must be treated with some caution. 95% confidence interval levels are provided.Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand and figures for smaller populations have been suppressed.Two files are available to download: Nationality - Borough: Shows nationality estimates in their broad groups such as European Union, South East Asia, North Africa, etc. broken down to borough level. Detailed Nationality - London: Shows nationality estimates for specific countries such as France, Bangladesh, Nigeria, etc. available for London as a whole. A Tableau visualisation tool is also available.Country of Birth data can be found here: https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/country-of-birthNationality refers to that stated by the respondent during the interview. Country of birth is the country in which they were born. It is possible that an individual’s nationality may change, but the respondent’s country of birth cannot change. This means that country of birth gives a more robust estimate of change over time.

Identifying Green Occupations in London

This workbook contains supporting data and information that sits behind GLA Economics Working Paper 99. It sets out a working list of 'green' UK SOC2010 occupations (at the four-digit or unit group level). These occupations have been identified based on a mapping exercise between US (O*NET) and UK (SOC 2010) occupational taxonomies using a crosswalk derived from the LMI for All API. This exercise involves a degree of judgement and the list of green occupations remains subject to development. Tables 3-4 include a range of indicators on employment, skills and qualification levels, and pay for green occupations (subject to data availability).Table 5 provides more detail on the mapping between the US and UK occupational taxonomies.Tables 6-7 outline some of the green tasks/skills that are likely to see an increase in demand as a result of occupational greening (based on the original US research). Please note: this workbook includes modelled estimates. Users are advised to consult the ‘Notes’ and ‘Summary of indicators’ sheets as well as the methodology section in the Working Paper.

Teenage Conceptions, Borough

This dataset shows numbers and rates of Under 18 and under 16 Conceptions, including proportion leading to abortion. Data is for London Boroughs.The Office of National Statistics (ONS) conception statistics are used to monitor progress towards the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy's target to halve England's under-18 conception rate by 2010, from a 1998 baseline.These statistics are part of a well established series, which are compiled by combining information from birth registrations and abortion notifications.Under 18 rates are per 1000 female population aged 15-17. Under 16 rates are per 1000 female population aged 13-15. Counts for City of London have been combined with those for Hackney For conceptions leading to abortions, rates based on fewer than 10 events have been suppressed. Occasionally it has been necessary to apply a secondary suppression to avoid the possibility of disclosure by differencing.Miscarriages and illegal abortions are not included in the conception rates, resulting in rates that may be an under estimation.

LFB senior staff salary information

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) publishes details of certain senior staff as required by the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (Statutory Instrument 2015/234) as part of its annual accounts: the number of employees whose remuneration in that year was at least £50,000 in brackets of £5,000 details of remuneration and job title of certain senior employees whose salary is at least £50,000, and employees whose salaries are £150,000 or more must also be identified by name. This information is included in the published accounts which are available here for 2018/19 on the LFB website.The 'senior staff' prescribed by the regulations for the Brigade comprise four officers namely: the Director of Corporate Services, the Director (Deputy Commissioner) of Safety and Assurance, and the Director (Deputy Commissioner) of Operations and General Counsel.Under the Local Government Transparency Code 2015, the Brigade must also publish a list of responsibilities (for example, the services and functions they are responsible for, budget held and number of staff) and details of bonuses and ‘benefits-in-kind’, for all senior employees whose salary exceeds £50,000. And, in the interests of transparency, the Brigade publishes details of all staff who are designated as heads of service (assistant directors and assistant commissioners) in addition to the four officers required by the Accounts and Audit Regulations, and this information is available on this page.Details of gifts, hospitality and expenses for senior LFB staff are published quarterly here.Note: For Commissioner/Director roles, the budget and staffing figures have been aggregated from the budgets/staff held by Heads of Service under each Director, so there is some double counting.LFB staff are employed by the London Fire Commissioner who is the fire and rescue authority for London; the London Fire Commissioner is not an employee of the LFB and is employed by the Greater London Authority. Details for LFC are included on this page for completeness.

Cycle Flows on the TFL Road Network

This dataset has been discontinued. Cycle flows on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN).The purpose of this indicator is to assess the level of cycle use on the TLRN. The overall ambition is to increase cycling levels by 400% such that by 2025 cycling will equate to a 5% mode share of all journey trips.This indicator does not represent cycling across London as a whole, It only represents cycling on the 5% of London’s roads that are the TLRN.The indicator is presented as an indexed flow relative to a baseline of March 2000 (a flow level that is represented as 100 on the index).Definition: Sixty automatic cycle counters on the TLRN provide sample counts of cyclists using the network. The indicator converts these counts into an index that is used to represent increases in cycle flows on the TLRN over time. It does not represent the total number of cyclists in London. Automatic cycling counters are pieces of monitoring equipment that emit a magnetic field that detects the presence of a moving cycle.Cycling data is collected monthly using telemetry. This is the process whereby live data is wired down a communication line. The data is sent directly to a database. A summary of the data is then forwarded to the Head of the Performance Monitoring Team each period via e-mail.With the future growth of cycling expected to take place not only on the TLRN, but on all the capital’s roads, TfL has developed a new methodology for recording cycling journeys that will run in parallel with the existing cycling index. At the current phase of development, monitoring using this metric is restricted to the central London congestion. Based on this metric, a daily average of 402,199 kilometres – or 131,000 cycle journeys - were cycled during the first Quarter of 2014.The Mayor published his Vision for Cycling in March 2013, outlining plans to spend £913m on cycling improvements over the next 10 years, with a gross budget of £107m in 2014/15.

Key Performance Indicators on the TFL Road Network

This dataset has been discontinued. Selected key performance indicators on the TFL Road Network.Number of hours of Serious and Severe Disruption on the road network by planned and unplanned status, journey time reliability, and total number of works undertaken on the road network.TLRN = TFL Road NetworkThe maximum permissibile total number of road works allowed on the TLRN was capped at 3,250 for any one period, in Period 1 of 2013/14 until the end of the financial year 2014/15. This is a reduction of 13.4 per cent from the cap of 3,753 that applied from Period 7 2011/12 to the end of financial year 2012/13.The key measure for monitoring smoothing traffic flow is journey time reliability. It is defined as the percentage of journeys completed within an allowable excess of 5 minutes for a standard 30 minute journey during the AM peak. Serious congestion. There is traffic congestion that is unusual for the time of day at the location or in an area and traffic has been stopped for less than 5 minutes - but in excess of the red signal time displayed on the traffic signals operating on the road. Severe congestion. There is traffic congestion that is unusual for the time of day at the location or in an area and traffic has been stopped for more than 5 minutes; and traffic queuing is longer than normal for the time of day, more than for ‘serious’ congestion. TFL also publish annual reports on road safety here.

Review of Ethnic Population Data Sources

There are a number of sources for estimates of the size and distribution of ethnic group populations in England. These estimates vary in quality, accuracy, timeliness, and detail; in some cases, the underlying definition of what constitutes the resident population is different. This document outlines in some detail the major sources of ethnic group information currently available at the national and regional level. It also gives a brief summary of the estimates themselves.
