Care Leavers Bursary

Created

None

Good Morning,

We use Aptem as our reporting system and currently have a couple of learners we would like to claim the care leavers bursary for.  I have asked Aptem how I indicate this on their ILR and they have pointed me to 'Eligibility for enhanced funding'. There are 3 options

 

as the learners are both under 24 I have added Option 2.  Can anyone confirm this is correct please?

 

I did ask Aptem and was told 'I cannot answer that question as it is your ILR I can only tell you where to put the code'.

Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA 

Jean

From the technical guide:

158. You record care leavers using the Learning delivery funding and monitoring type ‘EEF’ (Eligibility for enhanced apprenticeship funding) and code 4 ‘Entitlement to extended funding’.
159. If a 19-24 year old apprentice does not want to inform the employer that they were previously in care, then please record the Learning and Delivery Monitoring (LDM) code 362 (‘Apprentice care leavers’). This will not generate the additional payment for the employer, but it will generate the funding for you and the apprentice. We will not show the employer payments in the employer’s account when this function is built. This is only for 19-24 year olds as a 16-18 year old automatically generates additional payments for employers, and withholding this may disclose that the apprentice was previously in care.

I also recommend you read through this post:

Hopefully you won't have this issue, and I don't know yet if my example is resolved, but just in case....

Hi Becky,

Thank you - that's very interesting.  I think this will affect us as both learners are over the 60 days.  At least I know what to do about it now.  

Thanks again

Jean
