What is DLHE?
The Destinations of Leavers of Higher Education (DLHE) survey collects information about what students (leavers) are doing approximately 6 months after leaving university
Questions are asked about employment circumstances, whether they have gone onto further study and an evaluation of their higher education experience
The data is used to produce annual statistics and is disseminated via publications, online statistics, adhoc data provision and heidi
Sounds easy doesn’t it?

DLHE contact
• Each HEI has a nominated member of staff as their DLHE contact
• The DLHE contact is the central point of communication with HESA including – Correspondence – Consultation and specifying collection criteria– Data quality checking queries– Read-only access to Student record collection

Coverage
The first stage in conducting the DLHE survey is about understanding who should be surveyed
A comprehensive criteria is set to ensure we only survey leavers who’s information is required for onwards use – not all students are surveyed
There are also some basic criteria requirements included in the coverage statement to ensure a common sense approach is adopted
![Page 12: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

When?
![Page 15: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
HESA reporting period
• If the student(s) completed their studies during the reporting period then they should be included in the DLHE survey (provided other criteria is met)
• Students will complete at different intervals, therefore there are two surveys to ensure leavers are surveyed approximately 6 months after leaving
• The students end date will govern which survey should be used as shown in the diagram
JanuaryApril
![Page 16: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The surveys
• The surveys are named after their respective census date months – January and April
• A census date is used to ensure consistency but the date itself is nominal
• Surveys are undertaken during ‘contact periods’. For the April survey this is set from 16 April 2012 – 25 June 2012 and for the January survey from 12 November 2012 – 8 March 2013
• Depending on which survey and at what point it is undertaken, the questions may refer to a date in the past, present or future
• An estimate of the number of questionnaires and confirmation of whether the institution would like to use the HESA online survey is needed in advance
![Page 17: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stage one: April survey 2011/12
• Student completes 1 August 2011 – 31 December 2012
• Census date 16 April 2012
• Contact period 16 April 2012 – 25 June 2012
![Page 18: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stage one: April survey
• Forecasting stage one leavers in readiness for the April Survey is the responsibility of the HEI
• This can be achieved by using the internal student record system to identify leavers who meet both the coverage statement and criteria
• Close collaboration with the department responsible for the Student record is key to this process
• Any leavers surveyed who are later identified as not being part of the stage one population will not count toward your DLHE response rates
![Page 19: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stage two: January survey 2011/12
• Student completes 1 January 2012 – 31 July 2012
• Census date 14 January 2013
• Contact period 12 November 2012 – 8 March 2013
![Page 20: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stage two: January survey and POPDLHE
• The Student record identifies leavers who should be surveyed - POPDLHE
• Based on the Student record submission dates this information is not available until after the April survey
![Page 21: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stage two: January survey and POPDLHE
• Produced as part of the Student record and identifies students who meet the criteria based on the data collected
• A POPDLHE file is produced every time a Student record file is committed therefore early files are only intended to provide an initial steer and allow for monitoring
• A final POPDLHE file will be available no later than 31 October 2012. Remember to liaise with your Student record contact to ensure the most up to date file is used
• DLHE record contacts are provided with read-only access to the Student record collection on the data collection system which allows access to the POPDLHE file
![Page 22: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Task

![Page 23: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How?
![Page 24: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Methods of contact
• Postal mailing
• Telephone questionnaire
• PDF version (e-mail)
• Centrally-hosted online questionnaire
![Page 25: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It’s up to you • Use as many methods as possible during the contact period
• Increasing the lines of communication will increase the likelihood of response
• Review previous collection response rates for an indication of methods which attract the highest response rates
![Page 26: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Paper questionnaire
• HESA provide paper questionnaires for sending out by post
• Questionnaires are also available in Welsh
• Institutions are contacted by HESA with a set of questions about the size of the DLHE target population and the planned surveying arrangements in January (for April) and June (for January)
![Page 27: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
PDF questionnaire
• A PDF version of the questionnaire is available in both English and Welsh
• Available to download from the HESA website
• PDF questionnaires can be emailed to leavers who are then required to print, complete, sign, date and return the form back to the institution
• Institutions should consider using postage-paid returns to increase likelihood of responses. Leavers will not respond well to having to pay postage!
![Page 28: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DLHE online system
• Online version of the questionnaire (Welsh version also available)
• Institutions provide link www.dlhe.ac.uk to leavers
• HESA provide free of charge to institutions who register for system
• Also know as ‘Centrally-hosted online DLHE survey’
• Has in-built validation to ensure questions and sections are answered
![Page 29: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Telephone
• Often the most effective method – accounts for majority of responses but requires the most significant amount of resource
• Paper questionnaires are most commonly used to capture responses. The DLHE online system can also be used as a data input tool
• Callers require an excellent telephone manner and a sound grasp of the requirements. Some institutions recruit students as callers and multilingual speakers are sometimes used
![Page 30: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Telephone best practice
When to call• Experience shows calling
outside of standard working hours (5:30-8:30) yields better results
• Consider employing staff to contact leavers at the weekend
• A cut off time should be agreed and adhered to
• Log the times of calls to establish peak or optimum times for future surveys
Preparation• Time is of the essence - know
your leaver before calling (create a profile)
• Note the qualification awarded to the leaver vs. what they had originally aimed for
• Do not block your telephone number
• Ensure permissions are set to allow calls to mobiles
• Have the correct questionnaire for the survey period
![Page 31: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Third parties
• If a leaver is unobtainable, a third party can be used as an alternative source in providing the required information on behalf of the leaver
• Third party information is considered legitimate provided they are fully confident the answers are correct (and relate to the applicable census date)
• Third parties should only be asked a specific subset of the questions
![Page 33: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Last resort methods
• Academic departments– Can also be used as a source of information as they may
have on-going interactions with the leaver(s)
• Direct contact– During the field work period e.g. they visit the careers
office or during the graduation ceremony
• Employers– If employer is known to the institution they too may be
contacted
![Page 34: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Best practice tips
• Track the number of questionnaires both sent and received (comparisons with POPDLHE should be carried out)
• Use an alternative method if the previous attempted method was unsuccessful
• Different response rates for different methods
• Ambiguous or illegible responses should be clarified with the leaver
![Page 36: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Audit
All responses returned to HESA need to be supported by an appropriate audit trail. In addition, all DLHE data must be kept for a minimum of three years
Method Evidence
PDF and printed Signed and dated by the leaver

It is mandatory for all leavers to receive specific information in connection with DLHE. The covering letter, email or verbal confirmation provided during a telephone call;
It is possible to include the covering letter or email for all methods with the exception of using telephone. If the institution opts to use the telephone as their first method it is important to remember to confirm this information verbally as part of the introduction
![Page 42: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

XML -
• XML standards for eXtensible Mark-up Language
• It is the international standard for data transfer
• Hierarchical data structures in a single file
• Survey responses will be inputted into a student record system or database which will be capable of producing an XML DLHE file
• The correct format structure must be followed to avoid errors
![Page 77: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Validation
XML allows validation rules to be split into two types of checks
![Page 78: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Validation KIT
• User friendly interface
• One kit framework for all HESA XML data collections
• Connects to web to download latest rule version
We recommend that the kit is downloaded onto each PC rather than
onto a local network
![Page 79: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Data submission
• Data is submitted through a web-based data collection system – ‘Aardvark’ – found at https://submit.hesa.ac.uk
• The right to use this system is granted through the use of access and pin codes which are updated every year (these are sent directly to the main record contact)
• Record contacts may share access and pin codes with colleagues at their institution
![Page 80: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
• After a file has passed INSERT new options will become available
• Institutions will have the option to test commit and this should be carried out before a full commit (when HESA will begin data quality checks)
• After data has successfully passed a commit reports will become available
![Page 81: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Validation
• Aardvark has been designed to ensure quality assurance through in-built validation
• Reports are generated after each submission to assist with data quality checking (used by both the institution and HESA)

Category Description Outcome Explanation
A Successfully matched to the POPDLHE and surveyed in the correct census date
Counted towards the DLHE record and the target response rates
B Included in the Student Record but not in the POPDLHE
Not counted towards the DLHE record
It might be that this category contains those students who should have been in the POPDLHE but were not due to incorrect reporting in the student record
C Neither in the student record nor the POPDLHE
Not counted towards the DLHE record
These students should not have been surveyed for DLHE purposes

Check documentation
• Check doc is an Excel workbook which displays the raw data in a series of management information tables
• Key tool for quality assurance used by HESA and the HEI
• Produced after a successful commit/test commit
![Page 84: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Raising queries
• Following a successful commit analysts at HESA review the data and raise queries with the institution– Looking for anomalies in the data – Significant year-on-year changes
• Queries are raised through Minerva which is HESA’s online database for data quality queries
• Institutions must interact with this system
![Page 86: DLHE introductory](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d04550346895dba310d/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Completing the process
Once all queries are satisfactorily resolved the data is made ‘credible’ and the sign-off form is generated
‘I confirm subject to any comments below, that the student data returned for the above institution has been verified, and is correct, and that information based on this return can be released’
