Delivery location postcode
The postcode of the place where the learning is actually delivered.
In full
The delivery location postcode records where the learning happens. It is used in area-based factors and in checks that delivery is where the provider says it is.
It is a different field from the learner's home postcode and answers a different question. Confusing the two produces both funding and assurance problems.
Not to be confused with
The home postcode says where the learner lives and, for adult skills, who funds them. The delivery location postcode says where the teaching happens.
