Hi
I'm still somewhat confused as to who we include in the return. As the education arm of a large charity (with central support services) I'm unsure where we stop (I'd assume the same applies to Local Authority Adult Ed teams too!)...
Similarly, what about ITPs where the funded work is only a part of their larger commercial offer? Who are they including/excluding?
I realise this return isn't mandatory this year, but I'd like to know where we stand for this time next year.

Can you provide us with some training on completing the online form? I want to see this worked through in full but I don't want to add any real data.
The team have said:
“There is currently no training available for the staff online form, however, this is something we are looking into.
We have worked with providers to make the form as easy to use as possible so we hope you will find the process straightforward, however, if you do make any mistakes when entering your data you are able to amend or delete records.”
We will post responses to the other questions as the team work through them.
The online form is really easy to use, and I have put my details in as a test case.
I've also created a basic excel form that we are sending staff to complete what they can then I will enter the details into the system with the help of the HR department.
Just to add, I have put my real details in, then been able to change them to other details so I can see the different options. All is fully changeable at a later time.
