* Standard Rounding Methodology is used in al HESA publications and must be used by other users of HESA
data. It is a condition of the Agreement for the Supply of Information Services (the licence to use HESA data)
that any use of HESA data must apply the rounding methodology. This includes data used for Freedom of
Information (FOIA) requests.
There are three aspects to the Rounding Methodology, one of which is that counts of people are rounded to
the nearest multiple of 5. The rules are applied after any calculations (sums, averages, percentages, etc.)
have been done so that changes to the data do not compound each other to give even more inaccurate
results. See the HESA framework for policy applied throughout this response:
https://www.hesa.ac.uk/about/regulation/data-protection/rounding-and-suppression-anonymise-statistics
Secondly, please could you confirm whether there is, anywhere in institution, the provision for
remote/digital/distance learning
Yes. See https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/study/online/
If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request for information, you have a right under
Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act to ask the University to review it; however, you must do so
within 40 working days of the date of this response. Your request should include our reference number and
explain the reason for requesting a review. Email xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xx.xx or write to the Freedom of Information
Reviewer, Legal & Governance, University of Liverpool, Foundation Building, 765 Brownlow Hill, Liverpool
L69 7ZX. We will respond to your request for an internal review within 20 working days of receipt.
Following an internal review, if you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have a right to
appeal to the Information Commissioner at The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. Telephone: 0303 123 1113 www.ico.org.uk/foicomplaints. There is no

Yours sincerely
