Dear Fazia,
Could this be referring to the data collection names? When it was LR01, LR02, LR03, LR04, etc, it was much easier to distinguish the different time periods covered by the submitted files. This would make my life a little bit easier anyway!
Thanks

Steve

Hi Chris,

Have you tried calling the Data Service? They're normally very good at shedding light on these sort of anomalies – even if they have to go off and get back to you..

Thanks

Hi John,

How do you see the IA changing over future years considering the Government's aspiration for local commissioning, local data collection, etc.

For example, will it eventually become a facilitating and advisory body for local authorities, or will it maintain central control over the rules and regs? Or could it disappear altogether?

Thanks

Steve

We don't deliver NVQs but we do deliver multiple learning aims, including roll-on roll-off provision. Our learners only have one learner reference number (this is the primary key in our database, so it's not good practice for us to create duplicate records). I'm surprised this isn't the universal case?
