It appears open to me, can you give any more information about your status a provider? Sounds like it would be an issue to contact ESFA direct about though.

My gut feeling is a restart is under the same original funding flags or else it won't link up correctly in some systems. Interested to hear if anyone has already asked ESFA directly.

Short of asking for a look at their annual wage bill I'm struggling to come up with something. Definitely something you want to get clear from out outset with potential partners.

I believe it is legally permissible and as long as you have ongoing logs of contact/learning signed and verified by employer I can't see it being an issue that way. You could also get them to confirm they are so via email. I struggle to imagine any such learner is likely to be a good candidate for a successful apprenticeship though!

Thanks for the reply Steve, so even if the learner wants to pay to do a course that would be highly beneficial for them so they can't? I suppose the logic is that one only needs so much education at a time funded or not and it would encourage providers to offer some courses as paid only creating a wealth based inequality for 16-19 learner?

I've had the experience, I guess the logic is that because the DLOCK shows any learners you won't be paid for they need to appear here as well. The ones I've checked are matching as you say.

All NI's are meant to be unique so it sounds more likely to be an error on someone's part along the way?

Just took a quick look and I knew the policy update isn't listed in the 23/24 rules as far as I can see. So it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume the rule will only kick in for learners who will be reaching gateway after August 1st (though surely this would mean gateway could be put off until then though this may impact learners QAR hybrid end year). If you are looking to implement this straight away it would be worth contacting the ESFA for direct clarification and sharing it here.

We take a similar strategy to Louise and have also had approval that this can be done at the application stage in the past so we inform as part of our application process providing the link to the agreement.
