4 Please note that some of the policy suggestions, particularly in relation to groups who should be covered in the guidance, may be referenced at Question 11 (in relation to specific concerns). The focus of the analysis presented here is on the Introduction and Parts 1 and 2 of the guidance.

5 Please note that the analysis team has sought to present references in a standard form to be accessible to the reader (title, author, date) rather than in standard academic referencing format. In some cases, it has been necessary to make judgements as to the document or resource to which respondents' comments referred. Sourcing the correct referencing (for example in relation to dates or authors/commissioning bodies) has also sometimes been difficult. We apologise for any errors made.
