Dear C Swanson,
Apologies for the late reply.
Your request asked for:

By year from 2016 through the 2021 undergraduate admission cycle the
following:

* Number of applicants applying each year who have ticked the time spent
in care box on UCAS
* Number of these applicants each year offered an interview (if
applicable)
* Number of these applicants  each year offered a place
* Number of these applicants enrolling each year at your institution

Answer:

Of the years requested, we are only able to reliably provide information
on the admissions cycle (2020-21) as earlier information regarding the
handling of applications would have been removed according to the
retention schedule.
For applicants for September 2021:
* Number of applicants applying each year who have ticked the time spent
in care box on UCAS - 223
* Number of these applicants each year offered an interview (if
applicable) - 121 applicable and 62 offered interview
* Number of these applicants  each year offered a place - 47 of the 62
from interview. 
* Number of these applicants enrolling each year at your institution -
20 of the 47 became eligible for enrolment

If this information does not address your requirements under the Freedom
of Information Act or you wish to complain about any aspect of the
handling of this request, then you should contact the undersigned in the
first instance. Should you remain dissatisfied, then you may apply for an
internal review by contacting the Director of Marketing and Communications
at Oxford Brookes University, Headington Campus, Gipsy Lane, Oxford OX3
OBP (email: [1][email address] ).  Your request for internal
review should be submitted to us within 40 working days of receipt by you
of this response. 

During the independent review the handling of your information request
will be reassessed by staff who were not involved in providing you with
this response. If you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your
request or complaint, you have a right to appeal to the Information
Commissioner at The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. Further contact information and
details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be
found on the Commissioner's website: [2]http://www.ico.org.uk/

your case until the University’s internal review process has been
completed.
Yours sincerely
