The EMWPREP Monitoring and Evaluation Database is a bespoke web-enabled database which:

The database enables us to ensure that the right students have been selected for activities and report this information to government agencies as well as monitor outreach participants to examine the impact of WP activities and whether interventions have contributed towards student attainment. The data collected is also used to evaluate these interventions to inform best practice, as well as to monitor the progression of participants to FE and HE. Participant information is gathered via EMWPREP data collection forms.
In order to facilitate the gathering, sharing and publication of data through the Monitoring and Evaluation Database, all partner institutions sign and adhere to a Data Compliance Agreement, details of which can be found here.
Anonymised statistical data analysed by the EMWPREP team on HEI-funded outreach activities and participants is published as appropriate and in accordance with data protection legislation.
“Easy-to-use database to record activities delivered and outreach participants – the database is always under development to make sure it’s suitable for all partners’ needs yet remains simple and not too clunky”
