This used the principles behind our multiple equality measure (MEM) to code applications by representation level, and make suggestions about how this might affect predicted attainment.
For the 2019 cycle, all providers are invited to opt in to this modernised contextual data service (MCDS), which will run alongside our existing contextual data service.
MCDS will provide applications coded by MEM group and grade profiles, adjusted for an individual applicant’s equality context. We’ll also provide applications coded by POLAR4 quintile.
