Apprenticeship Service Engagement We have a similar issue with over 20 Apprentices recorded late in our data because the employers had issues reserving funding for the time the apprentices started. This means our funding is profiled late, the employers incentive grants don't line up correctly with the 12 and 52 weeks the apprentices actually started. We were told by ESFA at the time that the only option was to change the dates in our ILR to match the months the employers finally managed to reserve funding in the DAS. Can you publish how these are now being resolved?

On the DAS once the levy employer places a stop on the original record you are then able to transfer the apprentice to the new employer. As long as the new employer gives you permission to set up a cohort on your behalf.  https://help.apprenticeships.education.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360014678560-Record-a-change-of-employer
