  • links to data included further down the page (if needed)

Main findings
  • overview of the most pertinent data that has come from the statistical commentary - 6 to 7 bullet points


Summary
  • this is the body of the statistical commentary
  • illustrated with Figures and charts
  • sub-headings can be used to divide up this summary, but they should be written out in bold as normal 'paragraph' text

  • relevant links to the full statistical publication or partner sites
