Submitting IAPT data

For information and guidance on the SDCS Cloud, including how to register for a user account and guidance on submitting data, please see the Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS) Cloud web page.

Activity data related to October, will be captured in November, and reported upon in the December 2023 publication.  Statistics presented in the NHS Talking Therapies Monthly Statistics Including Employment Advisors publication series will therefore be derived from data captured in the current provisional window (formerly called the primary window).

Going forward this single window and the publication will be termed the performance window and the performance publication respectively, reflecting that it will be employed to assess performance.

As with the current situation, a second window will remain in place and providers will have the ability to re-submit data in the month following the new performance window. This has historically been termed the refresh (or performance) submission window and will now be referred to as the final window.

Any data submitted in the final window will feed into rolling measures within future publications and the publication of annual statistics at the end of the financial year (there will not be a second monthly publication directly following the final window). 

Dates for submissions for September 2023 to March 2025 performance data are shown in the table below.
