COVID-19 had a large impact on 2019/20 delivery and will continue to impact delivery patterns in 21/22. The introduction of this LDM code is to assess the level of impact on withdrawals, breaks in learning and transferrals to other courses, more suitable programmes as a direct result of COVID-19 allowing WMCA to analyze the impact of delivery within West Midlands Combined Authority.

The LDM code (368) will be entered into any of the 6 LDM fields on each affected learning aim alongside updating the Student’s completion status to either 3 - The Student has withdrawn from the learning activities leading to the learning aim or 6 - Student has temporarily withdrawn from the aim due to an agreed break in learning. This must be used alongside the appropriate withdrawal reason code. This includes withdrawal reason 40 - Student has transferred to a new learning aim with the same provider as a direct result of COVID-19
