I couldn't agree more Helen! The organisation I am helping to complete this month did not prepare for the person in control soon enough and I actually started to get into the system detailed layout on the 16th!!
I also found that after I had entered the financial figures and needed to clarify the FTE number needed so saved and continued. I got the staff FTE number later, went back in and the financial stuff had disappeared!
Chris Bradley oh man! so glad we don't have the financial figures to do.
Currently battling with Dates of Birth and individuals asking why is it needed.
SDN offer a free webinar and checklist for preparing for ROATP resubmission https://www.strategicdevelopmentnetwork.co.uk/roatp-prepare/
One issue I'd highlight is that your safeguarding policy etc must have a last revised date, next review date, and a scanned signature.
Thanks for your answers! Just a few more questions about the ROATP re-application if anyone has any insight?
The application asks for our most recent financial figures - our most recent 'published' financial statements ended 31/08/2020 because our previous financial year ending 31/08/2021 won't be signed off until March time. Do they want the most recent signed off and published figures or the most recent financial year, even if it's not been fully signed off?
Also, it asks for details on the most experienced staff in each sector we deliver apprenticeships. The issue we have is that the most 'experienced' staff in the sector isn't necessarily the staff with the most relevant official qualifications in that sector. So have you selected an employee based on practical experience, technical qualifications or found an employee that stands in the middle?
Thanks again!
Hi - just wondering if anyone can make sense of why we need to supply dates of birth for most experienced employee and management hierarchy. Something we know we will be challenged on within our organisation and struggling for a good reason. Did others get kickback on this, or any logical rational from the help desk?
Nicola Read no not really there response was its required to complete the application and its a secure portal. we did ask but didnt get anywhere with it. it to do with checks they want to do i think, but realistically its just month and year and the individuals probaby give it out to websites and other places without thought so is the fuss needed?

RoATP Refresh
Created
Hi All,
We have had the invitation email this morning to re-apply for the RoATP with our application window being December. When we have clicked the link within the email to create an account, once we type in our UKPRN to link our email to our organisation, it says "there is a problem" and asks us to contact the help desk.
Does anyone know if the website is down or if we're doing something wrong?
Thanks!
