Recording learner learning difficulties, disabilities (LLDD) and health problems
Recording learner learning difficulties, disabilities (LLDD) and health problems
Data collected in the LLDD and Health Problem entity is used to collect details about the nature of the learning difficulties, disabilities and health problems of the learner.
This entity contains the following two fields:
-
LLDD and health problem category
-
Primary LLDD and health problem
The LLDD and health problem data is completed on the basis of the learner’s self-assessment. A learner may record as many categories as apply.
The Primary LLDD and health problem field must be returned against one of the LLDD and health problem records. The Primary LLDD and health problem field is used to indicate the most significant or primary learning difficulty, disability or health problem that impacts on the learner’s education. This indicator must only be returned against one of the LLDD and health problem records for each learner.
The Primary LLDD and health problem field is not completed where the LLDD and health problem category is returned as code 98 ‘Prefer not to say’ or code 99 ‘Not provided’.
Example
A learner has social and emotional difficulties and also dyslexia. Dyslexia has been identified as the primary difficulty affecting the learner’s education.
Two LLDD and Health Problem records are returned: one recorded with a category of code 1 ‘Social and emotional difficulties’, and the other with a category of code 12 ‘Dyslexia’.
The Primary LLDD and health problem indicator is returned against the record with category code 12 ‘Dyslexia’.
The XML for these LLDD and Health Problem records is as follows:
