Feedback - How the Pilot went:
• For Richmond – very well 89% of schools
returned data which was checked corrected and
authorised by DCSF
• Nationally – poor 38% of almost 22,000 schools
taking part.
• Congratulations to all the staff who have done
so well working on this.
Benefits to Schools of new system 1 :
• Both SWC and 618g are statutory returns
• Jan 2010 will be the last 618G as a statutory
return.
• However, for LA’s who complete the SWC to
the necessary standard the 618g will be waived.
• Collect is available now, and remains open until
the live census so work on this can be done, in
advance.
Benefits to Schools of new system 2:
• Ofsted Inspection :
• “single central record” policy for safeguarding
• Developing the children’s workforce
(qualifications) ensuring qualified staff in
children’s services
• Option to record CRB data
• School can add some other data items for their
own use
Why do DCSF need the SWC?
• DCSF currently hold very little information on
workforce members at individual level.
• Data is often out of date and in some cases
inaccurate.
• Aim to improve data collections to improve and
monitor policy on staffing and teacher training
(subject planning)
• Will replace 5 other surveys, and is likely to
expand in its role longer term.
