New English & maths flexibility arrangements from 01/08/24

Edited

None

Hi,

The 24-25 Apprenticeship Funding Rules have been updated (paragraph 45) to confirm that where an apprentice has a learning difficulty or disability (regardless of whether they have been issued with an EHC plan or equivalent) which is a barrier to them achieving the English and/or maths requirements, providers should consider whether they should be offered the flexibility to achieve Entry Level 3 functional skills in the adjusted subject(s). Eligibility for this flexibility should be determined by an appropriate professional undertaking a thorough and evidence-based assessment of their learning difficulty or disability (paragraph 46.1). This change will apply to both new starts from 1 August 2024 and apprentices who are currently on-programme. 

Given the above flexibilities, are we required to report this in the ILR?'

Thanks,

Martyn.
