Thanks Ruth Canham-James. Your thoughts echo mine, and reflect what we are doing so that is good news! We also work with some big employers who have a lot of sites, many of which are tiny - the requirements around the EDRS, and the difficulty of searching for sites, was one of my biggest headaches when I started doing this job.

Hi Charmaine, I can't help but I have the same issue (posted about it earlier this morning). I have messaged the DfE to ask and will let you know what they say. I don't imagine it will be a quick answer though.

Hi Peter Is your question about claiming a laptop under ELS for a learner with an identified learning need? or for a learner without identified needs?

Yes, the guidance is really unclear and the difference in terminology between different systems, screens and documents really doesn't help.

The ESFA confirmed to me when I asked a similar question that DAS is supposed to use overall end dates including EPA. My interpretation of that guidance is that the Learning Provider paragraphs refer to the ILR - it mentions achievement date and also a YYYY-MM-DD date format, neither of which is applicable to the DAS. The Employer section specifically refers to the DAS and is clear that the projected end date should include the EPA period. Our organisation are both an employer and a provider and this is how I do things.

Hi Gill This document confirms that LSF can be claimed for EPA. Page 5: "Learning support funding is to be used by apprenticeship providers to make reasonable adjustments to support an apprentice who has learning difficulties or disabilities so that- they are able to complete their apprenticeship. This could include any reasonable adjustments to complete English and maths requirements and the end-point assessment." As the ILR doesn't allow you to claim LSF for dates after the last date in learning, I assume that costs for reasonable adjustments during the gateway/EPA period need to be claimed using an Earnings Adjustment Statement.

Lynne Burdon This would definitely be a good addition for us. Currently I am having to screenshot the new dashboards as I don't want to give our finance partners permissions to touch the ILR submission area.
