PDSATs - Report ID 26A-503 Learning aims with actual duration of

Created

None

Hi all,

i am after some advice  concerning the above report which identifies "Learning aims with actual duration of one day"

If a learner starts and then two months later despite attempts to get them engage we decide to withdraw - what action are we meant to take  on the ILR to ensure that funding is paid back if we aren't meant to make the withdrawal date the same as the start date?

Many thanks

Tracey

Provided it's in-year, you just take them out of the ILR. Then, as they don't exist, the money is "clawed back" from the total you've generated that month.

If the student really did some learning on that start/end date, and you can evidence that, it's fine and you can annotate the report to say that, the funding will sort itself out. If they didn't do any learning, you shouldn't be reporting them in the ILR (as Steve said). Most PDSAT reports are not definite errors, there are often allowable exceptions.

Another kind of one day duration enrolments are admin fixes for a previous year where you need it to be in the ILR to not create a hanging record from last year, but they didn't actually do anything on that aim. Auditors are fine with that when you explain.

Also, sorry, to be clear, that's for learners with NO engagement AT ALL, if they actually came to one session and then disappeared then you leave them in as withdrawn on start date. The PDSAT report is just asking you to check which of those two things they are.

Thank both - our learners all complete a learning activity on day 1 of the programme....its just that occasionally they then decide after that point that they just don't want to carry on
