1. YES
2. Where a 19 to 24-year-old apprentice was in care they are funded as 16-18 and attract the Provider and employer incentives but see the following:
P113 Where these payments are for apprentices aged between 19 and 24 years old at the start of their apprenticeship (see paragraph P109.2), you must include consent from the apprentice to inform their employer that they have an EHC plan or that they have been in the care of their local authority and either:
P113.1 a signed email or letter from a local authority appointed Personal Advisor to confirm they are a care leaver; or
P113.2 evidence of an EHC plan.
P114 Where a 19 to 24-year-old apprentice does not want to inform their employer that they were previously in care then you must report the appropriate code in the ILR. This will generate the funding for you but not the employer. You must not apply the co-investment waiver (see paragraph P127). This means that you must not record the code for the waiver in the ILR.

Care Leaver Bursary - few quick questions
Created
Afternoon,
We have an Apprentice who is eligible for the Care Leaver Bursary however I've not claimed one before so have a few questions that hopefully have simple answers:
1) In relation to the ILR, is it just the one field that means the funding is generated (EEF-4) and nothing else?
2) My understanding from the rules is that there is a single £1,000 payment that would come through for the learner. However P123 and P124 suggest that there are also payments for the provider and employer??
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
Steve
