The Information Authority – Guidance on learner transfers due to Minimum Contract Levels

The information authority has published guidance on the process to be followed for the transfer of learner records for providers holding contracts in 2010/11 with the Skills Funding Agency who will no longer hold contracts in 2011/12, specifically those becoming sub-contractors or those merging with other contract holding providers in 2011/12.

The process has been agreed by the Data Service and the information authority and is in two parts: the first for the 2010/11 contract holding provider, and the second for the provider becoming the new contract holder in 2011/12.

The guidance is available on the ILR Guidance Documents for 2011/12 page, at http://www.theia.org.uk/ilr/ilrdocuments/201112_guidance.htm.
