Apprenticeships Active Learning

Just wondering if anyone can clarify.  

What would be the consequences of learners who has gone past their funding qualifying period (42days) without active learning and then re-engaged a couple of weeks later (59days).  Should we have taken early action and removed learners from the programme?  What impact would this have in audit?

If there was no active learning at all until day 59 after the intended start date, then you need to change the start date (ILR and all paperwork). You must be able to evidence active learning on the start date.

If learning took place on enrolment and there was a gap between start date and next episode of active learning, which took place over 4 weeks, but took place after 42days, how would this be viewed?

If there was learning on day 1, then nothing else for over 4 weeks, the rules say you should put them on a break in learning dated back to day one. So your first instance would last just one day. When they do start more learning, you add a new instance as a restart, and extend the planned end date by the length of the gap. I'm not sure what then counts as 42 days for the funding threshold. I guess 41 days after the new start date?
