Please see attached the Data Protection Impact Assessment relating to the

collected as part of each stage of the assessment development process. As
you will see from the document, there is lawful reason for collecting all
personal data for this assessment, in line with other assessments such as

will be updating this ahead of the large-scale, national, voluntary pilot,
starting in September 2019.

For your second and third points, I can confirm that the Department has
not yet drafted any information for the ICO as we are not due to amend
legislation for the reception baseline assessment until next year. As we
do not hold this information, it cannot be released.
