Summary as of Wednesday 13th December 2023

New Features

We have added filters to the task list screen for category E licences (Personal licence for education), this helps separate PILs from PIL E for example when an Inspector or HOLC search for either licence types. Watch out for Further development work on the PIL E in the New Year.

We also updated the permissible purposes for the previously separated education and training options in the ROPs, by merging them into one item ‘Higher education Or Training’, making sub purposes unavailable for the category.

Future research and recruitment

Thank you for your continued involvement in user research – your participation is integral to understanding the user experience on ASPeL.

We are planning to restart the research on the Named Persons journey in the New Year. If you are interested in taking part in this work, or any future work related to ASPeL, please contact Rachel Cholerton, Senior User Researcher, at rachel.cholerton@digital.homeoffice.gov.uk.

Don’t forget to check out our roadmap to see what’s coming next to ASPeL.
