We include it; 'not known/refused to say' is now quite small in absolute
and percentage terms so does not undermine the overall quality of the
data.

Subject: Data Analysis
Dear colleagues,
I am analysing our annual equality student data and would be interested
to know how you deal with the category of 'not known/refused to say'.
For instance, do you include this category in your totals or ignore it.
If ignored it will change the percentages of other categories. I would
like to be consistent for benchmarking purpose with the sector practice
so would value your feedback.
Would also value feedback/guidance from ECU.
Regards
Anne Mwangi
