Thanks for reply Chris, we currently state "as long as necessary", but I want to update our policy. Our GDPR team are horrified we even ask for evidence of household financial position!

We produce a certificate for achievement of the Z code aims end of each year. Colleague cleverly did some sort of magic to populate a certificate document using the codes as an export from ILR.

At National Star we do use Non-Reg aims to record the RARPA progress, as a specialist college for students with disabilities. We always have one or two students not doing accreditation at all. Last time Ofsted were in they were interested to see the non-accred aims as recognition it's not all about accreditation for NSC students. Hours are in EEP.

I still think the line starts after 2019 has been missed off accidently. I can't see the payments being spread past learning end date. Who's asking the Helpdesk...?

Thanks Chris, it does appear all stepping stone quals are included, which is bonkers when the GLH are 1/2 the requirement. I see AOC are on the case asking for a complete rethink. For learners with an EHCP this is a dis-incentive to do a qual and find a reason to exempt instead as it stands.

We had this all day Thursday. I tried probably 30 times and all failed. Oddly out of desperation I got a colleague who also has a SLD account to try and went straight through. I wondered if it blocks too many tries from 1 IP address. Very frustrating portal. Our never corrected themselves just sat there (and still are) as "failed"

Yes... I've got into this debate with our DPO where DfE consider us a processor, which we disagree with. We collect data for our own use, so we are both controllers who share data. We do get CE every year as we have a Welsh Govt education contract which requires it. I've thrown it back to our IT team to say if they are happy CE meets ITHC if we were asked by DfE problem goes away (unless anyone here disagrees!)

So, we've finally got a submission in. Used a colleagues account and their pc. Possibly it thinks being spammed if try too many time from same IP? Nightmare afternoon.
