Abstract: This document specifies the common transfer file, CTF 20, to be implemented in school systems from August 2020 and before 1 September 2020. This document will enable the suppliers of management information systems to schools to develop their software to generate and export CTFs from those systems. The common transfer file (CTF) is the mechanism whereby schools transfer “common transfer information” to a subsequent school when a pupil leaves as specified in the Education (Pupil Information) (England) Regulations 2005 Statutory Instrument (S.I.) and subsequent amendments (2005, 2008, 2016, 2018, 2019). There is equivalent legislation for Wales. This document also includes information about xml data transfers. These are used as a mechanism for transferring pupil data within the education sector for pupils who are not moving school, for example when sending selected assessment records to the local authority or central government
Abstract: The U.S. Army’s Ask, Care, Escort (ACE) suicide gatekeeper training has been the annual requirement for all personnel since 2009; however, this training has never been formally evaluated. The present study evaluated three updated versions of ACE: a training for Army leaders (ACE-Suicide Intervention), a training for basic combat trainees (ACE for Basic Combat Training and One Station Unit Training), and a standard training for all personnel (ACE for the Force). Self-report surveys measured pre- to posttraining changes in objective and subjective knowledge and stigma, as well as preparedness, self-efficacy, and likelihood to engage in gatekeeper behaviors. Implementation outcomes, such as training acceptability, suitability, and usability were also assessed. Across these evaluations, participants reported that knowledge and gatekeeper behaviors significantly improved from pre- to posttraining. Implementation metrics revealed a high degree of acceptability and relevance for all three ACE trainings. Overall, the findings of these evaluations suggest important changes in key suicide prevention outcomes following the ACE suite of trainings. Further longitudinal assessment is needed to establish the full effectiveness of gatekeeper interventions in the Army.
