Thank you, this is really helpful. Unfortunately we have already turned potential students away who were dependants of students.

I would also like to know the answer as there doesn't seem to be anywhere that explains this?

We have decided to remove the 3 year question and simply check Sharecodes for anything that suggests a work sponsor or being here as a student. Other circumstances, such as dependant/spouses and general leave to remain/enter visa's are still unclear though, as they are only permanent with 'indefinite' leave.

Just on the back of this, can anyone help clarify these two seemly opposing statements from the funding rules? Does this mean anyone on Leave to Enter or Leave to Remain are not funded because neither of these are classed as 'permanent' ? [image]

Hi all, It looks like the DfE has dropped the clear requirement for learners to have been living in the UK for at least three years before the start of the course — at least under the ASF rules. The expectation now seems to be built into the types of immigration status they list as eligible. Most of those, like Refugee status, the EU Settlement Scheme, Afghan schemes, or Indefinite Leave to Remain, either come with long-term residency already or are treated as “permanent” from the start. What appears to have changed is that people on Skilled Worker visas or other limited leave to remain routes are no longer able to qualify just by being here for three years — they’re not eligible under ASF regardless of how long they’ve lived in the UK. That said, we’ve kept the question “Have you lived in England or the EU/EEA for the last 3 years?” on our learning agreements so we can still flag up and check what type of visa or permission the learner has. As this change only applies to the national ASF, the three devolved areas we work with (TVCA, NECA, and YNYCA) are still using the old three-year residency rule — so we’re in for a potentially confusing year. Further to this, I also can’t see any clarification yet on dependant or spouse visas, so that might be another area we’ll need to seek guidance on.
