Improving Data Quality, Supporting Providers
Working in partnership with
the information authority,
the Data Service is launching a new support service to help providers improve the quality of their ILR data.
From March 2010,
the information authority will be reviewing providers' performance against the standards set out in
Appendix P of the 2009/10 ILR documents. Over the coming months, those providers whose data falls significantly below the standards set out in Appendix P will be contacted by the Data Service's Service Desk. The purpose of this exercise is to help identify and understand any issues the provider may be having in meeting the data quality standards, and to provide practical advice and guidance on how to improve ILR data quality.
In the first instance, the Data Service will send an email to those providers identified as requiring significant improvement in their data to let them know that they will be contacted by the Service Desk.
If you have any queries, please contact the Service Desk on 0870 267 0001 or email
servicedesk@thedataservice.org.uk.
