Is it possible to do this with a regular formula, or would I require a UDF please?

I am not sure how to tackle this please, so would be very grateful for your expert guidance.

Many thanks in advance

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

maybe something like this with PowerQuery?

Hi Sandy

Thank you. I have never heard of Power Query before. Does it work for Excel 2011 for Mac please?

Based on your data how about, a UDF
Code: 
Function ListStatus(Cl As Range, Rng As Range) As String
   Dim i As Long
   If Not Cl.Offset(, 3) = "Employee" Then Exit Function
   ListStatus = Cl.Offset(, 3).Value
   i = Application.CountIf(Rng, Cl)
   Select Case i
      Case 2
         ListStatus = ListStatus & ", Spouse"
      Case 3
         ListStatus = ListStatus & ", Spouse + 1 Child"
      Case Is > 3
         ListStatus = ListStatus & ", Spouse + " & i - 2 & " Children"
   End Select
End Function
Used
=ListStatus(A2,A:A)
