  1. An error in the data cleansing process was identified that resulted in the misclassification of some exploitation types, primarily sexual exploitation, as ‘Not recorded or unknown’. This has been corrected in the updated bulletin/data tables using an updated cut of data taken 1 February 2021. This error is related to data processing for the statistical bulletins, and did not affect the classification of referrals within the NRM system itself.
