- User painpoint: schools get confused when selecting an AB on the manage training journey as they are only nominating it, not creating a real legal relationship with it.
- After they have nominated, they sometimes want to change ABs (sometimes they are too expensive, there's another one closer to them...) and that's where some of our disjointed data comes from.
It would be good to do some quant analysis on the reasons for this data clash that aren't qual/anecdotal but alas if we don't have them I do think there is enough qual learning to put the weight of data validation on the AB. The real issue is how long it takes the AB to confirm this as the current service rules won't let the ECT start induction without AB confirming the relationship. In induction disco we suggested recording a provisional AB provided by the school that is then overridden by the AB confirmation so as not to stop the process of training and delay the induction in general.
In theory this should be fine because we don't pass this information to LPs later on, but if we are considering resolving that, we should think of some service rules to make sure the data we pass to LPs has been validated but we also don't stop training

Why?
In ECF2, we're going to consolidate the appropriate body portal from TRA into our database and set of services.
This means that in 1 database, we'll have:
Most of the time (we hope), this will be the same. The school will tell us Teaching School Hub 1 is supporting an ECT's induction, and the appropriate body will come and register that ECT with us.
However, we still need to think about how we hold that in our database and consider the information. Do we just store what schools put? Or what ABs put? Or both?
Mostly importantly, we know sometimes this might differ due to data mistakes. Anecdotally, it seems we should trust the appropriate body more than the school for the truth on who is supporting an ECT's induction. We know schools get confused with the terminology around different organisations that support ECT induction an training.
We also need to think about how we handle this when the AB reported differs from the school to the AB.
What?
Out of scope
Actually prototyping or designing full solutions. For now, we just need a rough idea. For a while, the AB service will be live, and not the schools service.
