Unique Learner Number<br />
It is a requirement that every <strong>learner</strong> must be given<br />
a Unique Learner Number (ULN). This will be given<br />
automatically when you enrol on an Adult Learning Service<br />
course. This will allow you to track your achievements at<br />
any college or centre you may attend. Please keep this<br />
information in a safe place as you may be asked to provide<br />
this number at enrolment with us or with another provider.<br />
Data Protection – Fair Processing Notice<br />
The Learning Records Service (LRS) is operated by the Skills Funding Agency.<br />
LRS offers a Learner Registration Service to allocate ULNs which enables<br />
the individual to access a Learner Record Service. The Learning Record<br />
Service will offer the <strong>learner</strong> the facility to access their participation and<br />
achievement data via a website and to share this with other organisations<br />
and individuals where permission is granted. In order to access this service<br />
you must provide the Adult Learning Service with evidence of your identity,<br />
(examples include passport, driving licence, ID card or other form of<br />
national ID, National Insurance card, certificate of entitlement to funding,<br />
bank credit/debit card). Some documentation can be the same as the proof<br />
of residency evidence that you are also required to provide.<br />
The LRS will allow those organisations listed on section 537A of the Education<br />
Act to use the Unique Learner Number as a key to sharing participation<br />
and achievement data in a consistent and approved manner - promoting<br />
good information management practice. All organisations that will have<br />
access to the information you provide are registered under the Data<br />
Protection Act 1988. At no time will your personal information be passed<br />
to organisations for marketing or sales purposes. Individuals can opt out<br />
of sharing participation and achievement data with those organisations.<br />
Details of this can be found at www.learningrecordsservice.org.uk or by<br />
telephoning the LRS helpdesk on 0845 6022589. Please note you cannot opt<br />
out of having a ULN.<br />
