Sharing Data

Personal information may be collected by TVCA in accordance with the terms and conditions of funding imposed on providers of learning, for example, further education Colleges and private training organisations.

In order for the Department for Education (DfE) to carry out its functions:

• The ESFA and training providers share data to ensure accuracy of information held in relation to the funding of learning – a training provider may need to share your information with another training provider in order to verify accuracy of information in relation to a claim for funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)
• Your personal information may be shared with another training provider for the purposes of your continued learning.

In the event that a further education College or other training provider is unable to continue the delivery of training funded by the ESFA (for example, where a training provider is a limited company that is dissolved) the ESFA will endeavour to make arrangements for the secure transfer of information, including your personal data, from the former training provider to another training provider to support your continued learning. It may also request information from Awarding Organisations to establish at what stage your learning has reached according to their records.
