What permission do you need on the IDAMS to be able to see the accountability dashboard? I logged into our VYED and cant see it as an option. Thanks in advance!

Hi Christina, I would say your interpretation is correct with apprentice wage until they turn 19 backed up by the statement on the Gov website. Apprentices are entitled to the minimum wage for their age if they both: are aged 19 or over have completed the first year of their apprenticeship Hope this helps Joe

Hi Yvonne Not sure if its different for each local authority, but all of the Community Learning we have done in the last few years have needed the learner to be 19+ on or before August of that academic year.

If you haven't already It would be worth taking a look at the 'Apps Monthly Payment Report' this should show you what the clawback was for. Its in the 'period end reports' under submission history. Hope this helps!

We found it to be a very tedious process working out QAR manually especially with the 5 year range. We got recommended a piece of software called Strata by Orbital which does all of the QAR calculations and generates lots of different reports based on ILR data. It has been one of the most useful bits of software I have found in a long time could be beneficial for yourself in the future.

We currently have a query in about Planned Breaks and Withdrawals. We have found that withdrawing a learner from a Planned Break without them restarting cant be picked up by the QAR Technical Spec so they sit as an overdue break in learning before dropping off your data at the later of the Planned End Date or Actual End Date then add 1 year. We currently have a Motor Vehicle apprentice who went on a planned break in 2021, but decided not to restart and withdrew in 2021 who is going to have an effect on 25/26 data due to the planned end being 24/25.

From other posts I have seen on here around residence permits "No Public Funds" is in relation to things like benefits and the NHS mainly, but does not cover education. I believe you would just go down the usual route of has the learner been here for three years and will their visa expire before the apprenticeship is due to finish.

An issue we have found is that a learner who is on a BIL and then withdrawn because they never restart cant be processed by the QAR technical spec. The methodology in the technical specification looks for a restart indicator to process the end of a BIL but if the learner doesn't restart and you just withdraw them it cant see this and leaves them on the ILR as a BIL even if you're reporting them as a withdrawal.

Just to keep people updated on this. We use PICS for our ILR and they are currently looking into a reporting issue on their side as they can see the Co-Investment payments being marked as PAID but for some reason this hasn't reported to the ESFA and therefor not drawn down the completion payment.
