Latest FE college staff data collection system is now live
Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is responsible for the most significant collection of workforce data in the FE college sector in England. Known as the Staff Individualised Record (SIR) data collection, it provides a comprehensive overview of the profile of all staff working in FE colleges since 2001/02, and contains individualised data on demographics characteristics, qualifications, location, pay and other factors.
LLUK, in collaboration with data partner, Texuna Technologies, has now developed and launched a new, user friendly and interactive online system for collecting this year’s SIR data (2007/2008) . The system is now open for colleges to submit their data returns and will remain open until 01 November 2008. LLUK have consulted with the sector and the SIR collection period has been extended accordingly to coincide with college term times.
LLUK is encouraging all further education colleges and sixth form colleges to submit their data in order to ensure that they are able to benefit from the comprehensive intelligence collected. The data will enable colleges to better understand the workforce, identify trends and inform future decisions that will inform the running of individual colleges as well as improving the sector as a whole. LLUK is therefore also investigating data collection for adult and community learning (ACL) and work based learning (WBL) providers.
