Data Insight: Homelessness and other severe disadvantages during pathways to adulthood
In this Data Insight, the ADR Wales Housing & Homelessness research team explore experiences of ‘severe disadvantage’ among young people in Wales. These include homelessness, alcohol and drug misuse, and mental ill-health. Using linked administrative data, the team created a population-level cohort of young people. They then looked at the healthcare and other records of cohort members from their 16th birthday for a period of up to nine years. The analysis identified when young people were first recorded as experiencing each of the four severe disadvantages of interest. The findings help us understand how often severe disadvantages occur, how young people sometimes experience multiple different forms of disadvantage, and their timing as part of pathways to adulthood.
Data Insight: Degree subjects of science teachers in Wales
Using linked administrative data from the School Workforce Annual Census (SWAC) and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), this Data Insight explores the degree backgrounds of recently qualified science teachers in Wales. In doing so, it assesses alignment between undergraduate degree subject specialism and teaching allocation. These patterns are also explored according to the sex of teachers, the education level they teach at, the language-medium they teach in, and the geography of their school.
Data Insight: The science teaching workforce in Wales
This Data Insight provides an overview of the science teaching workforce in state-maintained secondary school in Wales as of 2021.

This provides evidence to inform discussions on workforce planning and distribution in compulsory and post-16 science education across Wales.
