Reports

Slough Borough Council (SBC) Lifelong Learning has developed an Excel-based electronic register that streamlines and integrates induction, initial assessment, Individual Learning Plans (ILPs), withdrawn/retained statistics, learning outcomes and all necessary data into a single, easy-to-use spreadsheet, thus greatly reducing workload for tutors and practically eliminating data-entry errors.

The project deliverables include regular 'Highlights' reports which summarise the tasks in progress and completed and list the tasks scheduled for the next period. These can be viewed and are downloadable here.
