For individuals booking a single personal space on this course
During this session we will be going through the different staff data checks in SIMS Next Gen that are available, we will also be reviewing, running, and checking HFL created SWC reports to ensure a clean and accurate School Workforce is ready for submission on SWC day. You will have expert help to advise on how staff data should be recorded and go through all queries and/or errors you may have too! This course runs along side a separate P.M. session, SIMS Next Gen: Running the School Workforce Census (SWC), which is also bookable via the CPD Hub for the same day. We encourage schools to attend both the morning Data Checks Workshop and the afternoon SWC course available on this date to ensure seamless data preparation, accurate validation, and a confident, stress‑free SWC submission.
