Privacy Notice (How We Use Your Personal Information)

This privacy notice is issued by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Department of Education (DfE) to inform learners about the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) and how their personal information is used in the ILR. Your personal information is used by the DfE to exercise our functions under article 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR and to meet our statutory responsibilities, including under the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009.

The ILR collects data about learners and learning undertaken. Publicly funded colleges, training organisations, local authorities, and employers (FE providers) must collect and return the data to the ESFA each year under the terms of a funding agreement, contract or grant agreement. It helps ensure that public money distributed through the ESFA is being spent in line with government targets. It is also used for education, training, employment, and wellbeing purposes, including research. We retain ILR learner data for 3 years for operational purposes and 66 years for research purposes. For more information about the ILR and the data collected, please see the ILR specification at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/individualised-learner-record-ilr.

ILR data is shared with third parties where it complies with DfE data sharing procedures and where the law allows it. The DfE and the English European Social Fund (ESF) Managing Authority (or agents acting on their behalf) may contact learners to carry out research and evaluation to inform the effectiveness of training.

For more information about how your personal data is used and your individual rights, please see the DfE Personal Information Charter (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/personal-information-charter) and the ESFA Privacy Notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/esfa-privacy-notice).

The Family, Adult & Community Education Service (FACES) within Sheffield City Council delivers first steps learning and skills programmes to adults (aged 19+) across the city.  We want these activities to develop a love of learning, address a skills need and encourage progression into further or higher levels of learning and/or employment.  There is also significant evidence showing that learners taking part in Adult Learning classes improve their mental health, confidence and wellbeing.

As a service, we are always looking to improve, and one of the ways we do this is by consulting with learners who are either on an Adult Learning programme, or are thinking about developing their learning and skills.  We would therefore really like to hear your views and hope you can help by answering this very short survey.  

The deadline for completion of this survey is 19th April 2024.  It will only take you a couple of minutes to complete - thank you!
