Apprenticeship providers often lack confidence in claiming Learning Support Funding (LSF) but with quality infrastructure and evidence templates, providers should be able to generate the additional revenue they are entitled to.
That’s why we’re hosting this two-part webinar series, which has been updated for the 25/26 funding rules and is designed to take you on a journey to understand the rules, the necessary processes of screening and assessment, best practices for planning and reviewing support, using our experience of delivering outstanding quality to demonstrate solutions that make a real difference to the apprentice and provider experience as well meeting the funding rules.
You will receive a CPD attendance certificate after the series, as evidence of your personal development.
Demonstrating a thorough understanding of the rules and giving best practice guidance on how to support a claim, we’ll take you through:
- The 25/26 Apprenticeship Funding Rules for claiming learning support funding and the key changes from 2024/25
- What is learning support
- The foundations of learning support infrastructure
- Screening for learning difficulties and disabilities
- Needs Assessment
- Support Planning
- Support Review
- SEND flexibilities
- Using the Earnings Adjustment Statement
- Effective evidence templates
- Compliance management
Hosted across two 2hr sessions:
Part 1: Understanding the learning support and functional skills flexibility funding rules and relevant legislation
Part 2: Implementing best practice and an effective learning support management structure
Attendees will receive a learning support controls checklist as well as a Support Review Template.
Our package options also include document templates for meeting 2025/26 funding rules and additional consultancy on a one to one basis. The suite of document templates is worth £725.
