<p>Three rounds of funding for Returner Grants have been announced since March 2018,
with £1.5 million now awarded to sixteen organisations supporting returners. These
programmes provide extensive support to returners, supporting them to develop skills,
build confidence, and complete accredited qualifications and training, before they
return to the labour market.</p><p>Programmes funded under the Returners Grant Fund
will capture data on the protected characteristics of participants as part of programme
evaluation. This will include ethnicity, disability, age, education and length of
unemployment. Evaluation reports will be published upon the completion of all returner
programmes funded by GEO.</p>
