Summer 2026 Update released to the LIVE database

After a period of testing on DEMO, the Summer 2026 Update has now been released to the LIVE database on Tuesday 16th June 2026. 

This deployment includes major updates to the Student Profiler and Higher Education Track Report, and notable changes to enhance the accuracy of participant reporting in the Delivery Report and improve Ambassador record matching when managing Ambassador Applications.

The new Matched Comparator Group Report is an exciting feature of this release, which has been designed to support members with robust evaluation of their interventions by comparing participant outcomes with similar non-participants. This is available for members to explore currently on the DEMO database (members only), and will be released to the LIVE database once thorough testing with members has been completed. More information on this new tool can be found in the following announcement: New Matched Comparator Group Tool Demonstration Video Now Available
