East Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Midlothian and Highland did not provide information in time for inclusion. 2004-05 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table and do not include young people aged 19-21.

Table 1.16 and 1.17 do not include the same number of children aged 16 and over due to data recording and reporting problems experienced by 13 local authorities. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of these data.

* represents figures less than 5 that have been suppressed for confidentiality reasons.
