Constraining the major contributors to the ionisation of the early universe is an ongoing endeavour of high-redshift galaxy research. We measure the ionising photon production efficiency and Lyman continuum escape fraction for a sample of 230 intermediate redshift ($1.3\lt z\lt 2.6$) sources observed as a part of the OutThere survey; a pure-parallel, wide-area JWST/NIRISS survey with accompanying JWST/NIRCam, NIRISS and HST photometry. The low threshold emission selection criteria for this sample makes for a large and robust control, against which other works may be contrasted, particularly for low-mass galaxies above $z\gt 5$. This control sample allows us to verify the correlations between ionising and spectral/physical properties suggested by previous studies. We find no significant correlations between the ionising photon production efficiency ($\mathrm{\xi_{ion}}$) with the UV slope, ${M_{UV}}$, $M_*$ or sSFR. We do find that $\mathrm{\xi_{ion}}$ correlates with [OIII]5007 Å equivalent width (EW) (Spearman coefficient $\rho =0.24$; $p\lt 4\times10^{-4}$) and H$\alpha$ EW ($\rho =0.63$; $p\lt\lt 1\times10^{-6}$) hold even at low EW albeit with more scatter. We also find that our novel approach to determining the ionising photon escape fraction $\mathrm{f_{esc}}$ results in values within theoretical ranges (0–10%) though vary substantially in comparison to the empirical results (median ${f_{\rm esc}} = 0.9\%^{+1.1}_{-0.5}$ including non-detections, median ${f_{\rm esc}} = 1.9\%^{+8.9}_{-1.8}$ above a $0.01\%$ threshold). We find that this escape fraction method has consistently significant correlations with the redshift, SFR and M$_{UV}$ and sample-dependent correlations with [OIII]5007 Å EW,H$\alpha$ EW and stellar mass.
