Data Recording Issues• IRIS - Working tool/ new monitoring system • Accurate and complete data • CES Review/clean up data/ 15th October

– Blanks/ assign client to at least one beneficiary group

• Date of Registration• Level of interventions could be considered low/

should reflect the nature of the on going supports provided to individuals (under-reporting)

• Accreditation –under reported

37

Summary Points

• Promoting access/gateway • Significant number of unaccredited courses• LCDP is prioritising the Long Term Unemployed and

most disadvantaged• Data Recording Issues

– Under-reporting of Individual Interventions– Need good quality data – To inform Pobal reports to various stakeholders

and facilitate CES review & any future evaluations • Significant outputs across Goal 2
