Schools and colleges are required to share data about the activity of their students with the local authority. This supports the duty on the local authority to track all young people from 16-19 years. This helps to identify those young people that are not in education, employment or training (NEET) and to offer them support.

Data sharing practicalities
ULNs (Unique Learner Number)
All Census and Destination data your school supplies to Oxfordshire County Council will need to include students’ Unique Learner Numbers (ULNs). ULNs are statutory for all students aged 14+.
To obtain ULNs for your students you will need to register with the Learning Records Service (LRS).
Using ULNs saves a significant amount of time and resource when processing student data and tracks an individual’s learning record from school into adulthood.
Secure Sharing
Oxfordshire County Council uses Egress Switch which is an email encryption product to making the sharing of sensitive information secure with third parties. We strongly encourage schools and colleges to set up an account so data can be shared this way. It is free and requires just some time to set it up.
Please do get in touch with us if you have any problems.
