(The links under Initial references below were added to meet the advice to "Gather references both to use as source(s) of your information and also to demonstrate notability of your article's subject matter." In addition to these, there are many references to the topic of the article British Education Index (BEI) on the Web, but mostly local institutional guides for people who might use the service. In preparing the article I am aware that there is a suggested "conflict of interest" given I manage the service about which I propose to write. However, the main purpose of putting forward the article is to provide information about something that is well-established and credible in its own right. I am used to writing objectively about the service in particular and the availability and accessibility of information in general. An article about the BEI is as valid as an article on a companion United States service, ERIC.)
