information authority Response to Raising Expectations

The information authority board has responded to the consultation document ‘Raising Expectations: enabling the system to deliver’. The DCSF / DIUS proposals include the set up of the Young People’s Learning Agency and the Skills Funding Agency, and new responsibilities for local authorities for education and training of 16 -18 year olds.

In considering the proposals, the information authority examined them from the perspective of:

  • potential increases in data bureaucracy in the FE system
  • the need for common standards in information (and related processes) to ensure efficiency
  • implications for the operation of the information authority itself
