DAS upload and new RPL fields

Created

None

With the changes to how RPL works, is there any news on when this will be implmented with the DAS? The upload specification still reflects the old RPL rules.

I have raised that with DfE, and they did agree that they would take out the duration reduction at some point as it's no longer relevant from August. No timescales given though. Hours reduction is now even more relevant, and price reduction is still needed.

Yeah I'm just wondering what will need to be returned. Our IAG is firmly underway for our August starts and we're debating what data will need to be reported next month.

At the moment we think it will be reduction in hours, our standard OTJT in hours for that programme, Reduction in hours, revised funding band maximum and RPL true or false.

That's the same as now, barring duration reduction 😊Until they remove it though, we'll have to bung something in. It was never very meaningful anyway, as reduction in duration could be for all sorts of reasons, not just RPL.

Sam Bern

Yup! Fingers crossed they remove the error reporting they included between duration, hours and price. I think currently its reduction amount in pounds. But I think new funding band maximum makes more sense? 

Ruth Canham-James

I think there still will be a pounds reduction, as we will still have an amount in £ we're reducing the price by, even if that's based on a % on band max. I think it's just a difference in how you conceptualise it, the price reduction has always been just teh price reduced as a result of RPL, not any other reductions.
