NFI Instructions: Data requirements

To find out what the data requirements for each sector are, see the tables below.

There is also a separate data specification for each data set collected for the National Fraud Initiative. These specifications can be accessed from the data specifications page.

The requirements of the Code of Data Matching Practice in relation to fair processing notices should be adhered to. Participants should liaise with their own Data Protection Officer or person with equivalent responsibility, if clarification is required.

The data submission section provides details on how to upload data securely. This is the only acceptable method.

Local government participating bodies 

·         As in previous exercises, wherever possible data will be collected in bulk on behalf of participants. For example data relating to housing benefit and students eligible for a loan will be collected from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Student Loan Company (SLC) respectively

·         Providers of insurance services to Local Authorities are also being approached to provide insurance data on behalf of local authorities and an update on this will be provided well in advance of the data submission deadline
