FRM69 Query

We always have a few of these, and it can be for a lot of reasons, often students with particular needs who don't have any identified and recorded Learning Difficulties or Disabilities (if they have LDD, I don't think they don't appear on this report). Just make sure you have really clear rationale why more than 50% of the programme is EEP, rather than regulated qual activity. 

See paragraph 135 and 136 of the 16-19 rules, part of which says;

Additional funding audit attention will be made where the amount of EEP activity being funded makes up more than half the study programme funding. Where EEP activity is above this figure, auditors will need to see evidence of costs that can be directly related to the delivery of education and examples of recognised educational costs are now shown in Annex B: Table 1b.

Thanks Ruth, does it not make any difference if the Work Experience is recorded as their Core Aim?

No, I don't think so. I'm not sure if there's any published precise logic for these reports. You'd still need to explain why WEX was their core aim, such as it being a traineeship. This report is similar to the PDSAT 23Y-218. That's got some more clear logic, but it doesn't exclude everyone with LDD, as FRM69 appears to do.

Yes, there's nothing (currently) to stop us doing this, just need a rationale.

They won't go from the FRM report though, but that's OK.
