[Advisory] Sending pupil-level data outside of the school

[Mike Kendall]

There has been considerable investment by LAs, RBCs and suppliers to establish the trust relationships between identity providers and content providers, although for many people the work has not been visible or understood.  The implementation of Shibboleth lead by UKAMF has been and continues to be a priority area for investment through the Harnessing Technology grant.

The UK Federation is currently revising its strategy and delivery as the demand and expectation for such identity assurance and trust schemes continues to grow.  The demand for such assurance schemes through federations moves across sectors, it is not just for education including schools and is increasingly international.  The schools sector part of UKAMF is funded by Becta.

The UKAMF policy board and working groups do have schools sector representatives - I am on the policy board as a schools sector representative.  There are close working relations with the ISB to ensure joined up activity and outcomes.
