QAR exclusion when Learner dies before completion

Created

Fortunately, it is a rare occurrence that we have to record a withdrawal due the the death of a learner.  

Although there is restricted use code RUI5, learner is not to be contacted - learner has died, I cannot find any indication that this is used in the QAR calculations to determine if this is included or excluded from the stats.  
There isn't a withdrawal reason for "learner has died".  I wonder if there should be such an option?  

It would be interesting to hear the views of others.

Hi, fair point I'd say - however, as per https://guidance.submit-learner-data.service.gov.uk/25-26/ilr/summaryofchanges, the learner contact preference entity, which used RUI, has been withdrawn for the 25/26 ILR.

RUI also applied at learner level whereas QAR exclusions really need to be identified at programme/learning delivery level.

Hi Pete

Yeah, unfortunately, this has never been a thing, they're just withdrawals like any other...
