Data Requests

The 2014/15 ILR specification

The process to collect and consult on data requests for the 2014/15 Individualised Learner Record (ILR) specification will open soon. Details will be published here as the procedure progresses.

The 2013/14 ILR specification

In the spring of 2012, all ILR data users (Skills Funding Agency, EFA, DfE, BIS etc.) submitted a business case for each item of data they wished to collect in the 2013/14 ILR that was not included in the core data set.

We received 134 requests to collect data, which we consulted on with the sector, following our Request for Collection timetable.

We analysed each business case and put forward solutions for each one – where possible combining different data needs into single data items. Then we asked for your views on our solutions and you told us what you think: 2013/14 ILR survey results.

On the 26 September 2012, our board met to consider the data requested for the 2013/14 ILR specification. The majority of the secretariat’s recommendations were agreed and a summary of those decisions is available below.
