Some qualifications data is being dropped
The Single Central Record
Schools should:
• establish and be secure in the identity of staff; or assure themselves that others who employ or supply staff have done so;
• verify the authenticity of the qualifications of staff;
• establish which staff require checking against List 99 and with the CRB, then do so, or secure that others have done so;
• maintain an up-to-date record of staff which displays evidence that the three tasks above have been carried out, and when.

The Single Central Record
David
We've spoken to our contact at Ofsted and they are keen to get to the bottom of this for you. From Ofsted's point of view the Inspectors should not be imposing a particular method for schools to hold CRB/List 99 data and they are also concerned about how the data on a spreadsheet is transferred to Ofsted. Ofsted would very much appreciate, if you have no objection, knowing the name of the schools who have had problems so that they can give some targeted guidance to those impection teams.

Reporting To Parents
By September 2008 all secondary schools will be expected to provide information to parents covering achievement, progress, attendance, behaviour and special needs, on a timely and frequent basis – this should be at least once per term.
By September 2010 all secondary schools will need to offer parents real-time access to this information (including the opportunity for secure online access) wherever they are and whenever they want.
Primary schools must also meet the basic requirement by September 2010 and the real time requirement by 2012.

Enrolment Dates
Formerly when a child moved from nursery to reception, regulations stipulated that the enrolment date should be changed to the date when the child joined the reception class
Regulations have changed
Regulations now state that the enrolment date should be left unchanged
PASAPP used to update the enrolment date automatically when a child moves from nursery to reception and store the original date in a field called Date Started In Nursery
PASAPP has changed
This will no longer happen and you mustn’t update the Start Date manually. We have made it harder to do this and strongly recommend that you get a new version before you do your class changes and transfers
