GOV.UK
The website on which official government guidance, including funding rules and rates, is published.
In full
GOV.UK is where the official documents live. A funding rule that matters should always be traceable to a document there, with a publication or update date.
Where a document is reissued during a year, the version matters. Citing the document without the version can leave two people reading different rules.
Where this comes up
scenario
A governor asks what the funding risk actually is
At a board meeting, a governor asks what would have to go wrong for the funding position to be materially misstated. What is a good answer?
module
The anatomy of the ILR
What is actually inside the Individualised Learner Record: the entities, how they nest, and which fields carry the funding.
scenario
An adult learner moves house mid-programme
A learner moves from a devolved area to a non-devolved one halfway through their aim. Which authority's rules apply, and does anything change?
scenario
An employer agrees a price above the band maximum
A negotiated price sits above the funding band maximum for the standard. Who pays the difference, and what is recorded?
module
Apprenticeship funding: price, band, service and evidence
A price negotiated with each employer, capped by the band maximum, paid monthly with a completion element, and dependent on the ILR and the apprenticeship service agreeing.
module
How further education funding actually works
Colleges are not paid a block grant for teaching. They are funded through several separate streams, each with its own rules, and each earned by recording delivery in the ILR.
