General description

The data covers different aspects of the school workforce in Wales, using the data collected from the School Workforce Annual Census (SWAC).

Data collection and calculation

School's data are derived from the School Workforce Annual Census (SWAC) returns in November each year.

Frequency of publication

Annual

Data reference periods

Academic Year 2020/21

Users, uses and context

Figures relate to teaching assistants, higher level teaching assistants, foreign language assistants, ALN coordinators and ALN support staff only.

Revisions information

The methodology to calculate the number of vacancies advertised and the average applications per post has been revised since last year so that each post advertised is only counted once. More information on this can be in the 'School Workforce Annual Census: Background Information'.

Statistical quality

The information collected for 2021 and 2022 have not undergone a formal final validation period. However, various stages of automated validation and sense-checking are built into the process to ensure a high quality of data to inform policy making. A final validation period is being considered to be introduced for future collections for schools and LAs to review the information they return, and re-submit their data where errors are identified prior to publication.
