Schedule of Collections 2008-09
The Department's Data Collection Schedule from
November 2008 is available (the next update will be in December
2008). There is also an explanatory document which
explains the layout of the schedule and explains some of the terms used in
it. The schedule is intended to give Local Authorities (LAs) and schools
a guide to the pattern of data collections/surveys for the year ahead,
including both new and ongoing ones. This schedule includes data
collections by the Department and by those organisations that have signed up to
the Protocol on Data Sharing and Rationalisation.
The schedule covers a rolling 12 month period and will be updated at regular
intervals. It is not intended to include documents such as applications for
grants or test order forms or other forms whose main purpose is not data
collection as such. This document is aimed at assisting LAs and schools
and we would appreciate any comments you have that can assist us in
meeting your needs.
Please send any comments to Robert Bauling (Tel 020 7925 5286, email: Robert.Bauling@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk).
