Changes to Apprenticeships funding rules for SEND

Changes to Apprenticeship Funding Rules for SEND Learners  

As of 1st August 2024, apprentices with learning differences without an Education, Health and Care Plan will be able to work towards a lower level of functional skills. This new guidance follows a positive SEND pilot that encapsulated 20 training providers across the UK. 

It is hoped that widening flexibilities in English and maths for apprentices with learning disabilities/or difficulties will encourage greater uptake and hopefully higher completion rates.
