1. ESFA Briefing Update – Condition Data Collection
Bruce Crowther
12th April 2017

2. What is the CDC?
It’s the follow-on of the Property Data Survey Programme (PDSP) (2012 – 2014)

3. What is the CDC? … but new and improved!
Started February 2017 (pilots)
Due to complete September 2019
Including all government funded schools

4. What are the big improvements?
We’re listening to schools first.
We’re using a common IT platform (Kykloud)
We’re sharing information shortly after the survey.
We’ve worked to improve stakeholder engagement
We have vastly improved surveyor training, guidance and data validation (surveyors require a CDC passport)
Photo’s of roof and category C/D elements
We’re looking for continual feedback

5. What do we primarily want it for?
To enable a fair allocation of capital maintenance funding informed by school condition
Identifying blocks most in need of replacement
To develop capital allocations policy
To provide an evidence base for capital bids

6. What the benefits are to you?
Build understanding of condition need at your school
Highlight a ‘tell-tale’ of a greater condition issue
Provide a view of roof condition
Photographic evidence of condition issues (procurement support)
Bring compliance requirements to your attention
Highlight condition issues which need attention

7. What CDC is not
It is Not a comprehensive asset management survey because:
It is not invasive
It is not structural
It does not report on hazardous materials
It does not address critical H&S requirements
No account of operational criticality/capacity
It does not provide estimated defect remedy cost information for schools or responsible bodies.
