Consultation Workshops


Angel of the North


The information authority hit the road in November 2008 to run consultative workshops in Coventry, London, Newcastle and Sheffield with a range of stakeholders attending each session. 

The presentation slides from the workshops can be downloaded from our community portal, feconnect.

Workshop content

Some of the broad issues that were discussed included:

  • ILR developments – collection dates, new look documentation, improving the change process.
  • Learner documentation – could ILR forms, learner plans, learner agreements, etc. be merged into one concise form?
  • Data burden – looking at the key themes from the Oakleigh report and discussing ways that burden and bureaucracy can be reduced.
  • Data security – to assess whether system wide guidance on this is necessary and, if so, what form should it take.
  • New organisations and their roles – the information authority, the Data Service, MIAP etc. why have these organisations been formed and how will they affect you?
