  1. An error in data processing was identified that resulted in the incorrect classification of some potential victims, primarily child potential victims, as age at exploitation 'Not recorded or unknown'. This has been corrected in the updated bulletin/data tables using an updated cut of data taken 7 December 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.
