* Most accurate figures available, based on the Office of National statistics. ONS figures were used for this report because the target audience is in the UK. These figures should not be directly compared to the number of incidents recorded in country and is why we do not use percentage as a measure of incidents against the number of visitors.

** Most accurate figures available, based Compass NG (lost/stolen passports) data March 2005-April 2006

****Total no. serious assistance cases - excludes 'Advice and Self Help' cases (ie 'General advice sought')
