Dear Information Management Team,
Thanks for your response.
To clarify, for questions 1 to 4, I am asking for training data relating to each of the past 5 academic years (ie. how many staff/schools undertook each type of training during 2022/23, 2021/22, 2020/21, 2019/20 and 2018/19?) rather than a cumulative total across the 5 years.
For questions 5&6, I am asking how many schools had an allergy policy/spare AAI devices during each of past 5 academic years.
Yours sincerely,
S Pattison
