Constructed for teaching. No scenario in the Academy contains real learner data, and none ever will.
What should happen to the funding for the aim?
The rules behind this
For adult skills provision, the learner's home postcode determines whether their funding is national or devolved to a combined or strategic authority, and therefore which rules apply.
Adult Skills Fund eligibility depends on the learner's age, residency and circumstances, and the provider must hold evidence of eligibility before funding is claimed.
