What information will we add?
We would like to add information from education records about you and your child until they are 16, held by the following organisations:
• The Department for Education in England
• The Welsh Government Knowledge and Analytical Services
• The Scottish Government Education Analytical Services
• The Northern Ireland Department for Education and the Northern Ireland Department for the Economy
These records will include information about education such as exam results and participation in further education, special education needs, as well as details about the schools or colleges attended. These records also cover use of childcare services.
Why add this information?
Adding this extra information means more detailed research can be done on things like:
- How children’s experiences when they are very young affect how they do when they start school
- Which childcare services are being used
- How parents’ education influences their parenting and educational choices for their children
