The LSC is responsible for funding, planning and encouraging education and training for young people and adults in England, and is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. The information you provide will be shared with other organisations for the purpose of administration, careers and other guidance, and statistical and research purposes. Other organisations with which we will share information include, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, Connexions, Higher Education Statistics Agency, Higher Education Funding Council for England, educational institutions and organisations performing research and statistical work on behalf of the LSC or its partners. The LSC also administers the learner registration service (LRS) which will use your information to create and maintain a unique learner number (ULN). The LSC is also a co-financing organisation and uses European Social Funds from the European Union to directly or indirectly part-finance learning activities, helping develop employment by promoting employability, business spirit and equal opportunities, and investing in human resources. Further information about partner organisations and the ULN and what they do, may be found at www.lsc.gov.uk/providers/Data/help/ and by following the links to data protection.
At no time will your personal information be passed to organisations for marketing or sales purposes. From time to time students are approached to take part in surveys by mail and phone, which are aimed at enabling the LSC and its partners to monitor performance, improve quality and plan future provision.
Select the appropriate value from the Restricted Use Indicator drop-down on the Learner Registration Details page if you do not wish to be contacted by the LSC or its partners in respect of surveys and research. The LSC values your views on the education or training which you receive, and will use these to help bring about improvements for learners in England.
The LSC or its partners may wish to contact you from time to time about courses, or learning opportunities relevant to you. Select the appropriate value from the Restricted Use Indicator drop-down on the Learner Registration Details page if you do not wish to be contacted about courses or learning opportunities by post. “
