References to government or other statistical return forms are intended to define the nature of the information, not the period in relation to which it is to be published. The definitions cite the latest available version of these forms; subsequent versions may be slightly different and should not be referred to in this context. Data must be for the financial year for which the indicator is being reported.

Population figures should be the Registrar-General's mid year estimates for the year being reported, or if these are not available, the figure for the previous year, or an extrapolation if there has been a significant change to the population eg altered boundaries.
