Subcontracting funding rules for ESFA funded post-16 funding

Created

None

Hi I am looking at the below paragraph 29

As set out in the contract, if you subcontract more than 25% of the learners (based on ILR data) for AEB or 16 to 19 and you do not think this can be reduced to less than this by the funding year 2022 to 2023, you must submit an exemption case to ESFA to obtain ESFA’s agreement

Can anyone tell me if the 25% they refer to is based on learner numbers, aims or value £?

Thanks in advance

Of the learners (based on the ILR data), my interpretation is learner count from ILR.

Thanks Martin, I found it in the glossary just after posting this

means 25% of the learners in each funding stream under this contract in any given funding year.

Is it definitely learners or is it enrolments (i.e. for AEB an individual learner can be funded for more than one enrolment).

Thanks

Not sure on that one Steven, below is what it says in the glossary so I would read that as being learners and not enrolments. 

Subcontracting threshold

means 25% of the learners in each funding stream under this contract in any given funding year.

Thanks Simon, I read it as learners as well.

If they meant enrolments they would have said so.
