Title of project: 
BIS funding for FE data linkage.
Proposal summary: 

The £45,000 will go towards data linkage. The data linkage will focus on Further Education data. BIS have links with the National Pupil Database and the Data Service and can therefore help ALSPAC to get access to the ILR data (Individual Learners Record) that otherwise we wouldn't have access to. This data will follow on from the educational data that we hold already giving us a more complete picture of the young people's educational attainments.
