* Department of Health's top performance band

** DoH performance band is expressed as a value relative to the proportion of people aged 19 in the local authority area who are in employment, education or training. The top performance band is 60% of the rate achieved in the general population of 19 year olds. For 2003/04 in B&NES this is equivalent to 53% of care leavers in employment, education or training
