The Post-Entry Working Group has been considering how HEAT can be used to record and evaluate Post-Entry interventions. Changes to the database that will assist Post-Entry recording have been agreed, with quick wins being introduced as part of the Winter 2025 Update to the database. These include a new Student ‘Access and Participation Plan’ field and an update to the Activity ‘Category’ field.
As a reminder, the Winter 2025 Update will be released to the DEMO database on Tuesday 11th November at 11:00 AM, and the LIVE database on Tuesday 9th December at 11:00 AM.
We are sharing this news in advance of the release because any Activity record currently holding the value of ‘Inreach’ will automatically be changed to ‘Post-Entry’. Approximately 2% of Activities currently stored on the LIVE database have a value of ‘Inreach’.
This is notice that from Tuesday 9th December 2025, these records will hold the ‘Category’ value of ‘Post-Entry’.
If you have any questions regarding the change of these records from ‘Inreach’ to ‘Post-Entry’, please get in touch with the team at HEAT Support, who will be happy to assist.
