FE Workforce Data Collection

Created

Query probably mainly for specialist colleges - the FE workforce collection return, how are you deciding who is in scope - are you including therapists?

Separate question, I can't see the tiles to submit, but I have got the permissions in IDAMS. Is it just me or is no one seeing it despite the window being open?

Hi David Dalby,

 Organisations should complete a return for staff members that have one or more contracts of employment the provider during the 2021/2022 academic year (1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022).

Staff role job titles or the job position name vary between providers. The job roles listed in the Staff Collection Support Manual are the full set of roles that are available to be used for the collection. Where providers job roles do not match these exactly then the closest available to the actual provider job role should be used.

Data must be collected for all staff that contribute to the delivery of ESFA funded further education or training provision. This includes staff members that spend any of their time working on ESFA funded training regardless of their main job role.

You do not need complete a staff record for an individual for the following types of staff:

  • Agency staff
  • Self-employed or freelance staff
  • Staff working for a provider through an intermediary, such as a personal service company

You do not need to complete a staff record for an individual in a support role that is not directly supporting learning, e.g. catering, maintenance or other such service support roles.

Thank you,

Hi Henry Wish Can I ask how you have checked? We are a 16-19 ITP. 

The guidance states; 

Providers should complete a return if they receive funding through one or more of the 
following funding models and do not return the Schools Workforce census or the 
HESA staff record.
• 16-19 (excluding Apprenticeships)
• Adult skills
• Apprenticeships (from 1 May 2017) including Levy funding
• Community Learning
• European Social Funding (ESF)
• Other Adult
• Other 16-19
This will include:
• FE Colleges
• Sixth Form Colleges
• Local Authorities
• Independent Training Providers
• Employer Providers
• Third Sector and Voluntary organisations.
The following providers are not in scope for the collection:
• Schools and Academies who return the Schools Workforce Census 
• HE institutions who return the HESA staff record 
• Organisations not in receipt of ESFA funding

Hi Chris Roberts,

 Please accept my apology! 

I've double checked your account information (UKPRN) and you are within scope for the FE Workforce Data Collection.

Thank you,

Thanks Henry Wish we have submitted ours last week.

Hi,

How do we submit our data collection once everything has been completed? I can't see a submit button, just a "return to dashboard", or "add another staff member" button. 

Or do we just leave it until the return deadline passes and it submits itself?

Craig.

Peter (ESFA)

Hi Craig Humphreys yes that is correct, there is no submit button currently for the staff online form. The collection will pick up all your staff members after the close date that are in a completed state.
