Thanks Steve, I was hoping for at least a bronze medal...

Thank you Martin, we use a system called Databridge used by may specialist colleges for students with disabilities. Looking at the file in Notepad++ looks like it is a change they've made from our last submission, as I can see only only learner ID in Feb submission for destinations, but the ID gets repeated several times in Marc submission I'm trying to get through now. I'm on to them to look at.

It is Roz, having reread the guidance seems to be ok, I'm just nervous it won't work for apprentice or us and will end up in a mess. The joys of being MIS person and delivery team throw regular curve balls!

Ah I should read more carefully! We're 16-19 and Apps only. I knew I did a mid year last year, but that was at R10, so looks like I'm off the hook! Thank you!

Thanks Chris, glad it's not just me! I am assuming nothing has been changed with user permissions and it's a glitch ESFA's end.

Ditto, and we have an inspection starting Tuesday... Not sure if I can use excuse we couldn't access data to help anything!

More in Steve's world than mine, we don't do any SC now (thankfully!) The duplicates it claimed we had were bizarre, 16-19 high needs, claimed they were on someone else's ILR doing work experience aims. Spoke to the college who assured me never heard of them and were 100% not on their ILR. Never got to the bottom of it with ESFA. Good luck!

We found it very flaky, claimed we had learners recorded elsewhere and we never got to the bottom of why. I was glad it's gone and one less thing to worry about!
