The guidance says that a Break in Learning (BIL) has to be a minimum of four weeks. If the students is 16-19 Young Person funded, you can't use a BIL at all. The Provider Support Manual says;
The ILR does not record breaks in learning for 16-19 funded learners (Funding model 25 and 82).
If a 16-19 funded learner has agreed a leave of absence with you, then the learning aim record(s) should be left open. When the learner completes their learning aim(s), these are closed in the normal way.
If the learner withdraws from learning, then the learning aims are closed. If this learner later returns to the same programme of study, these aims can be reopened at your discretion depending upon the timing.
If a learner is absent on an agreed leave of absence at the start of a new teaching year, then you must continue to submit an ILR record for the learner and should record the planned learning hours that the learner will undertake for the year when they return to learning.
If the student is an apprentice, then a BIL would be exactly the right thing to use.

Break in learning - SP long term illness

Hi, I have a young person who was diagnosed with cancer back in November, she is undergoing treatment but I doubt she will be ready to return this year. I am talking with tutors to consider putting her on a break in learning. From what I can find in the guidance I can only do this for 4 weeks before I have to withdrawal her.
Firstly, am I reading that right? Second, are there any other options I can propose to the tutors for this learner or should I just withdrawal her?
Thanks!
