eSAY 2010 statistics

The eSAY team have been working on the 2010 data collection.  A headline statistics release will be available soon and the main statistics release will be available later in the summer.  We are also working on the easy read booklets for these statistics.  All of these will appear on the Publications and Resources page when they are ready.  

You can find out about the information we have collected for the 2010 statistics here.  The guidance notes used by the local authorities for the data collection can be downloaded from the eSAY Guidance and information page.

Development work

In 2009, the eSAY team began some development work with the following aims:

• To improve data quality
• To improve the consistency of the data
• To reduce the proportion of ‘unknown’ responses

To assist us to achieve these goals local authorities were invited to submit brief proposals to lead on developing areas of eSAY that require linkages with other data providers. The development areas are:

• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Further Education
• Employment
• Local Area Co-ordination
• Insight database

The local authorities involved are currently writing reports for the eSAY team which will help to improve the data collection process and the quality of data.  They will be available to download from the Publications and Resources page soon.
