Learner Support

frameworks that started before 1 May 2017

Apprenticeship learner support
C31. We will support apprentices that need help where there are circumstances,
such as redundancy, where the apprentice suffers hardship that affects their
ability to continue and complete their apprenticeship.
C32. If there is genuine hardship that could be an obstacle to the learner during
their apprenticeship, you can claim learner support to help them.
C33. We expect that employers will support apprentices for their additional
expenses. However, you are permitted to do so if the apprentice is in genuine
need (for example, in the case of redundancy and temporary unemployment).
You must promptly claim for learner support from your apprenticeship budget
through the Earnings Adjustment Statement. We will not pay you for claims
from a previous funding year if you do not claim on time.
Good morning Martin
I have taken the information from the Provider Funding Rules
This learner has been fully assessed and the need identified for additional support. They would not be able to complete the apprenticeship without the additional equipment and software being provided. Which of the manual is the above C31 to C33 from?
Kind regards
Gill
Gill Knight did you ever find the answer to this question? We haven't got to that point yet, but it was something I was wondering about! Thanks :)

Learner support - purchase of equipment
Created
We have recently purchased a laptop and software to support a learner following a full assessment.
Appreciating we are still at the beginning of the apprenticeship at this point, I am being asked if this equipment has to be given back once the apprenticeship has ended. This is some 18 months away currently.
Regards
Gill
