Dear Jamie

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
20/01/20.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

If possible, I’d like to receive data specific to the 2018/2019 academic
year.

Specifically, I’d like to request data on the student careers services
spend. (Excluding operational costs.)

This could fall under career support or careers programmes.

If this includes a combined group of departments, could you please specify
each department and their individual spend?

Apologies for the inconvenience, but would it be possible to disregard the
'operational costs' aspect of my previous request, and instead just
receive the overall careers spend for the university?

Dear Jamie

Our response included all spend in the Careers Service in 2018-19. However, total spend is not the same as all costs as not all costs were actually defrayed in the timeframe in question. The figures below represent encumbrances in the period 2018-19 which were committed to be spent but which were not spent in that year.

Main Core Account: £14,692
Enterprise: £204
