Hi all

Although the name is quite a mouthful, it was essentially a meeting with change requesters, data users, provider representative organisations and the Data Service to work through the ILR change requests for 2011/12. The main objectives were to generate questions and issues to consult with the further education system as well as identify conflicts with existing data use. We found it extremely useful as it meant we could combine policy, information purpose, process issues and potential data burden aspects of each of the change requests going forward.  We also think it has helped us scope the change requests going forward and that the consultation process will be more focused – of course you will be the judge of that…

Those who attended the meeting also seemed to find it useful in understanding the different perspectives of those present.  They recommended that we permanently adopt this meeting into the change request process.

The consultation process with learning providers and software houses will start with the ILR Change Request Stakeholder event on 15 July 2010.  The consultation on feconnect will commence shortly after so please contribute as and when these come up.

Afternoon all,

The weather is lovely outside, so I’ll try not to keep you glued to your desks for too long while you try and find out what we’ve been up to in the last week.

Things are starting to pick up on the ILR change requests front – we have been in discussion with LSC colleagues about a number of proposals they will be submitting shortly. The details for these changes are still being finalised, so we will have some more information for you in the next couple of weeks.

Hi all,

Apologies for this digest coming out after the Bank Holiday, and not on Friday. We hope you all had a refreshing extra day off!

As was the case last week, we haven’t received any additional requests for change to the 2010/11 ILR this week. Stakeholders have one month to submit change requests, but we are recommending that you speak to us as soon as possible so that we can thoroughly work through any requests, and work out the best possible proposals for the information authority board to consider.
