The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish in full the data held by the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) database.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The department does not have plans to publish in full the data held in the Longitudinal Education Outcomes database.
The database contains the sensitive personal information of UK citizens. It would be a breach of the public trust and UK General Data Protection Regulations 2018 legislation to publish it in full.
However, the department routinely publishes a wide range of statistical information drawn from the data. The department also makes the data available for research in the public interest through the Office for National Statistics Secure Research Service. Further information on how to access the data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-access-the-longitudinal-education-outcomes-leo-dataset.
