Individualised Learner Record (ILR) Definition

DEFINITION

1. The Individualised Learner Record (ILR) is a collection of statistical data returned at various points of the academic year by providers in the Further Education system.

DESCRIPTION

2. Providers submit information to the ILR at specified times throughout the academic year. The file they submit to is dependant on the funding stream that they are in receipt of, i.e. Learner Responsive (LR), Employer Responsive (ER), Adult Safeguarded Learning (ASL), European Social Fund (ESF) or University for Industry (UfI).

3. Up to and including 2007/2008, the ILR was monitored, collected and processed by the LSC, but from 2008/2009, two independent organisations were established to take responsibility for it;

• The Information Authority - Overall responsibility for the ILR and the format of the information within it.
• The Data Service - carry out processing and dissemination of the data.
