Notes

This field is identical to the Institution.UKPRN field in the Student Record.

A single register of learning providers is being developed as a part of the Managing Information Across Partners (MIAP) programme. In the long-term it is anticipated that the UKPRN will replace the plethora of institution identifiers used by different organisations in the education sector.

A software developers toolkit - to support the development of UKRLP web services - can be found by following the Software Development Kit link from http://schemas.lsc.gov.uk/.
