Coding of social grade of Household Reference Person (HRP) (Added 15.10.07)
An error has been identified in the coding of social grade of Household Reference Person (HRP). During processing an error in the coding of social grade was identified and a routine was applied to correct it. However, the social grade of the HRP was not updated with the routine to reflect this change. Further details and a list of the specific commissioned tables affected are available in the general corrections section.

Tables M546a and b, and tables M48a and b (added 13.09.06)
Details
Until 16/08/2006 the tables contained three footnotes that incorrectly explained the categorisation within the table of economically active people, aged 65-74, who had never worked.
Analyses of ever worked and HRP NS-SeC includes all 16-74 HRPs; except those economically inactive HRPs aged 65-74 coded to 'Never worked' or 'Not classifiable'.
The 'Remainder' category in NS-SeC includes economically inactive HRPs aged 65-74 who were given an NS-SeC code for either 'Never worked' or 'Not classifiable'. Some of these persons were miscoded due to an error in processing.
Persons counted by their HRP's NS-SeC are included in the table according to the restriction above.
Comments
The table has been corrected and is now available, free of charge, on request from Customers are advised to remove these footnotes from the tables they hold or request, from Census Customer Services, tables with these footnotes removed. The tables should contain a footnote as follows "An error in processing has resulted in under estimation of the numbers of economically inactive people aged 65 - 74 who had never worked in tables containing these data throughout England and Wales. This also has a significant impact on tables containing NS-SeC figures derived from this economic activity information. The errors do not affect Census figures for Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Details

Multi Source Topic Report M506: Number of Families by Type by NS-SEC (added 03.05.05)
Details
The population of the table is stated as 'All Families', but users should be aware that Families with a Family Reference Person (FRP) aged under 16 have been excluded from this table. This is because these FRPs were not assigned an NS-SeC code, and the table is broken down by each NS-SeC category. There are 879 instances of this.
Comments
Those who received copies of the table before November 2005 are advised to assign the following footnote to the table population information in row 3. 'A small number of Families(879) where the Family Reference Person (FRP) is aged under 16 have been excluded from this table as the FRP does not have a valid NS-SeC code.'
