1. NatSIP-CRIDE Feasibility Study
Summary for Outcomes Workstream
4th June 2014

2. NatSIP-CRIDE Project
How to link the pupil, provision and outcomes variables contained within the NatSIP Outcomes Benchmarking and the CRIDE surveys
Need for collection and submission of individual CYP data
1st Phase – Feasibility Study (proof of concept)

3. Aims
Feasibility of HI Services collecting a data set on individual CYP covering pupil, educational provision and outcomes variables
Feasibility of governance, data protection and ethical approval arrangements

4. Investigation Participation of 7 Services covering 10 LAs
January – March 2014
Testing the manageability of gathering individual CYP data
Exploring the suitability of draft governance, data protection and ethical approval arrangements
Detailed feedback through a structured questionnaire

5. Feedback
All respondents indicated that the data set would essentially be manageable to collect
The Excel spreadsheet tool for data collection and submission was generally welcomed
All respondents indicated that the governance proposals would be acceptable
All respondents indicated that the data protection proposals would be acceptable (NB Issue of consent)

6. Feedback cont.
All respondents indicated that the ethical approval proposals would be acceptable (NB Issue of consent)
Other issues:
Range of requests upon Services in Spring term
Workload pressures and need for administrative support
Impact of the need for informed consent upon the fullness of the HI cohort
Potential participation in future pilot – average rating approx. 9 on a scale of: (definitely not) to 10 (highly likely)

7. Conclusion Substantial evidence in support of the proof of concept:
Feasible to collect data
Feasible to make appropriate governance, data protection and ethical approval arrangements

8. Next steps
NatSIP Reference Group agreed on May 9th for the project to proceed to 2nd Phase – Pilot
Purpose: to fully test the survey process and consider requirements for the potential 3rd Phase – Longitudinal programme
To involve a sample of 10 LAs collecting and submitting the data on individual CYP with HI (anonomysed) as part of the next NatSIP Outcomes Benchmarking exercise
