Destinations of leavers from HE 07/08

Back to field list for 07018

07018: Location of employment

Field Information

Number: 009
Name: Location of employment
Abbreviation: LOCEMP
Length: 8
Status: Compulsory.
Description: This field describes the location of the HE leaver's place of work. The preferred coding for UK destinations is the full postcode, or if this is not available the outward part of the postcode, i.e. the characters to the left of the space. The second preference is the country code for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. This field should therefore contain an alphanumeric code of up to 8 characters, which is a valid UK full or outward postcode, a country code or XXXXXXXX (default code).

Question asked:

Q10. Where was your place of work and, if in the UK, what is its postcode?
Notes: Core field for employed leavers.

Postcodes:

Alpha characters within a postcode must be returned as capitals.

In the event that the full postcode is not known, institutions can return just the first part of the postcode (outward part). If the outward part of the postcode is returned this must be left justified.

HESA has published a list of default postcodes to be used in field 9, LOCEMP in cases where the town/city is known, but the postcode is not. Copies of the list are available from the HESA WWW site at http://www.hesa.ac.uk/manuals/07018/dlhe0708.htm.

Country codes:

The four-digit country code must be left justified.

Default code 'XXXXXXXX' must be used when field 4, METHOD = '8' or '9' or field 5, EMPCIR = '10' to '14' and '16' to '17'.

Default code 'XXXXXXXX' must NOT be used when field 5, EMPCIR = '01' to '03' and '15'.
Example: A typical postcode such as GL50 3DA would be coded with a blank in the fifth character position. A postcode such as B1 6SR would have blanks in positions 3, 7 and 8. The part of the postcode before the first space is known as the outward part of the postcode and can be of variable length of 2, 3 or 4 characters. Whereas the part of the postcode after the space is known as the inward part of the postcode and is a fixed length of 3 characters. The space between the outward and inward parts of the postcode must always be shown as part of the postcode.
Reason Required: To allow analysis of the movement/mobility of HE leavers.
