Wanted – stakeholder input to ILR changes
The information authority secretariat is starting to work on the development of the 2009/10 Individualised Learner Record (ILR) specification and wants stakeholders to identify any changes they need to make.
A new change request process is being piloted this year. To see the criteria and how the process will work, please visit the information authority’s web portal at: www.theia.communityserver.com
The first stage of the new process is for stakeholders to raise future data requirements or amendments to the ILR specification through the information authority. These will be assessed by the authority’s secretariat against set criteria and recommendations will be made on which requests should proceed to a consultation phase, which will be open to all stakeholders.
Following the consultation period, any issues raised will be documented, added to the request and then reconsidered by the secretariat. All change requests will be reported to the information authority board. The secretariat will use the assessment criteria and the information received during the consultation phase to recommend which changes to the ILR specification are implemented.
The last date for receiving a change request for the 2009/10 ILR specification is 27 June 2008. This is to allow sufficient time for consultation with stakeholders. The specification of the 2009/10 ILR will be published on 28 November 2008.
The information authority board will approve or decline the change requests and will base its decisions on the assessment criteria, what it thinks is best for the FE system as a whole and the recommendations of the secretariat.
Dave Briggs or Paul Kelman at the information authority will be available to help you throughout the process. If you have any queries regarding the process please contact them.
