The management information requirement on this page sets out the information about young people’s participation in education and training that local authorities (LAs) are required to report to the Department for Education.
This data is provided to the National Client Caseload Management Information System (NCCIS) from the local authority's Client Caseload Management Information System (CCIS).
As part of their duty to support young people to participate in education or training, LAs track young people’s participation in education and training. They record information about young people's current activity, characteristics and aspirations on their caseload management system (CCIS).
CCIS is essentially a local database that provides LAs with the information they need to support young people to engage in education and training, identify those who are not participating and to plan services that meet young people’s needs.
CCIS also enables LAs to provide management information to Department through the National Client Caseload Information System (NCCIS).
This is used to:
- monitor the impact of the legislation that will require all 16-year-olds to participate in education or training from September 2013
- produce monthly performance tables that services can use to compare and benchmark their performance against others
- combine with other administrative data to produce education destination measures and the quarterly brief on those not in education, employment or training (NEET)
- produce tables relating to participation, NEET and delivery of the September Guarantee which are made available on the Department's website
- evaluate policies such as the Youth Contract and RPA local delivery projects.
The NCCIS Management Information Requirement is published annually and describes the data that should be stored in CCIS and reported to the Department in in a way that is consistent between LAs and with other data sources.
