Prior attainment and the ILR - A Good Practice Guide
This Good Practice Guide follows an investigation into ILR (Individualised Learner Record) coding and prior attainment data. The message from providers, the Department for Innovation Universities and Skills and the Learning and Skills Council is clear; although data is improving in this area, more can be done to ensure all providers minimise the extent of 'not known' values reported for adult prior attainment on the ILR. This good practice guide has been produced to help providers to assess their current actions and identify ways to improve their data using real-life case study examples from other providers.
The guide is aimed at helping providers assess what actions can be taken to improve prior attainment data collection and allow them to challenge their existing systems and procedures. The options offer a choice of ways to address data collection and recording in an efficient manner. In addition, this guide provides real-life examples of provider actions being undertaken.
