Fair Processing Notice
The Managing Information Across Partners (MIAP) service is operated by the Learning Skills Council (LSC) for learners aged 14 years and over and learners registering for relevant post-14 qualifications.

MIAP offers a Learner Registration Service to allocate Unique Learner Numbers (ULNS) which enable the individual to access a Learner Record Service. The Learner Record Service will offer the Learner the facility to access their participation and achievement data via a website and to share this with other organisations and individuals where permission is granted.

The MIAP service will allow those organisations listed on section 537A of the Education Act (www.miap.gov.uk) to use the Unique Learner Number as a key to sharing participation and achievement data in a consistent and approved manner, promoting good information management practice.

All organisations that will have access to the information you provide are registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. At no time will your personal information be passed to organisations for marketing or sales purposes.

Individuals can opt-out of sharing participation and achievement data with those organisations listed in section 537A of the education act. Details of opting-out of data sharing can be found at www.miap.gov.uk or by telephoning the MIAP helpdesk on 0845 602 2589.
