The Problem
ACL Essex runs adult learning from centres across the county. For its strategic intent document it needed to show who its learners were in 2024 and where they came from: their employment status, whether they were on Universal Credit, their ethnicity and the local authority they live in.
All of it sat in internal spreadsheets, one row per learner, and it had to make sense to council readers who would never open them.
What I Did
I sorted 7,112 learner records, a full year, by centre and by local authority. After showing the client some of my earlier maps, I suggested a heat map of Essex shaded by enrolments. Alongside it, a stacked bar chart shows which centre each local authority's learners go to.

The Work
Outcomes
I made these for Mark Silverman at Plus Pursuits. He told me afterwards that the client, Essex County Council, was really pleased with the charts and maps, and that they went into its strategy papers.
