ILR Change Request Review Group meeting – 7 July 2010

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.
