Department for Education Sample Clauses

Department for Education. 4.3.1 The Department for Education (DfE) will use data alongside interpretative information to support dialogue with Local Authorities. This will enable: transparent decision-making in matching LAs to support; the proportionality of support offered across regions; and reduced duplication of effort between organisations. DfE’s internal operational decision-making approach to how/where to invest resources will remain unchanged and subject to Ministerial approval. 4.3.2 DfE powers of intervention are limited by strict requirements for robust evidence and proportionate action; data alone cannot provide a basis to issue a statutory direction/notice, or to trigger inspection. DfE will use data for purposes of brokering support through, for example, Partners in Practice (PiP) and with the Regional Innovation & Improvement Alliance (RIA) to discuss regional performance. 4.3.3 The DfE will not use the data for purposes other than that stated above and will observe the principles outlined at sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Annex of the MOU. Any exception to this will require the express permission of an individual Director of Children’s Services in a relevant Local Authority.
