We’d like to remind you that the deadline for your MDC submission is the 7th of the month; we’ve recently seen an increase in employers missing this target. To help with this, it’s important that you:-

• check if you’ve uploaded your MDC data
• ensure file header and file name are in the correct format
• inform us of any changes to contact details
• watch out for reminders and missing data checklists through the Employer Portal
• ensure your Employer Portal access is also up-to-date.

If you’re a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) and you submit your MDC files using your MAT number (the 751/xxx number), please ensure you use the LA/Establishment number against individual members records, not the MAT number.

If the incorrect number is used it could generate multiple service onto the member’s record, affect any elections the member may hold, plus generate a mover pack, informing the member they have changed establishments and produce checklists.

If in doubt, contact the MDC (This link opens in a new window) team or call them on 0345 3003756, and select option five.
