Quality Check Reports

The Quality Check reports have been produced from the ESFA's DSAT report specifications. This page details how each report functions, including the criteria used to retrieve data. However, it is recommended that the original DSAT specifications are used as the main reference for any criteria.

Many of the Quality Check reports use open-ended criteria, with the intention that providers can identify data issues within potentially large data sets. While producing the reports, we have attempted to add features which will make it easier to identify issues, such as filter parameters and highlighting data suspected to be an issue.
