We’ve had some really useful feedback from employers so far on the MCR process.  The next stage in the development of MCR is to create detailed Guidance and Developer Specifications for the system, and we need your help.

We’re holding a series of workshops in January to gain your views on these documents, which will be issued earlier that month. Your feedback will help us to produce high quality, comprehensive documents that will be used by employers, payroll providers and software providers to make submissions and build solutions for MCR.

The events will be held in the following locations for Local Authorities (County Councils);

• Liverpool – 17th
• Darlington – 22nd
• London – 29th

Along with the following dates for non-Local Authorities (Academies, free schools, Independent, HE, FE, Colleges, etc);

• Manchester - 16th
• Darlington - 23rd
• London - 30th

Each event will run 9:30am – 4:00pm, with lunch and refreshments provided.

If you would like to attend a workshop please email us (This link opens in a new window), confirming the date and location of your choice (please note that we’ll not respond to your email between Christmas and New Year, but will be in touch with you from the 2nd January to confirm if you have a place).

Spaces are limited to 30 delegates in Liverpool and London, 20 in Darlington and 20 in Manchester. With this in mind, we ask that you only send one representative from your establishment. If you have a colleague who’d also like to attend, please state this in your email and they may be contacted if additional spaces become available.

If you’re unable to attend any of the workshops but you’d still like to give your feedback on the draft document, please let us know (This link opens in a new window).
