ILR

The Individualised Learner Record (ILR) is a collection of data about learners and their learning that is requested from learning providers in the FE system*. The data collected is used by organisations in the FE system to ensure that public money is being spent in line with government targets for quality and value-for-money, for future planning, and to make the case for the sector in seeking further funding.

The ILR Specification defines what data is collected for each academic year from 1 August – 31 July. The data standards and specification of the ILR are owned and governed by the information authority, and any changes to the data collected in the ILR or collection arrangements must be approved by the information authority board.

If you have any queries regarding the ILR, please see our FAQs, or email dataqueries@theia.org.uk.
