question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much money has been reclaimed by employers through the apprenticeship levy in each month since it was introduced.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley East

uin	242226
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The attached table shows the monthly drawdown from employers’ apprenticeship service accounts from the introduction of the levy in May 2017 to January 2019 (the most recent month for which data are available). Employers are able to access these funds to support the costs of apprenticeship training – we have responded to feedback from employers by extending the amount of time employers have to spend their levy from 18 to 24 months. We don’t anticipate that all levy-payers will use all the funds in their accounts. Income from the levy is also used to fund apprenticeship training for non-levy paying employers.</p><p>The data provided covers funds utilised from employers’ apprenticeship service accounts to cover training costs for learning. It does not include other costs, such as incentives and additional payments for disadvantaged apprentices.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 11/04/2019 16:12:52 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton attachment 1 file name 242226_Monthly_Apprenticeship_Levy_Drawdown.doc title 242226_Monthly_Apprenticeship_Levy_Drawdown

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Alternative provision (AP) providers which are full-time and meet the criteria for registration as an independent school are already regulated under the 2008 act. The parallel provisions which would enable regulation of part-time alternative provision have not been commenced.</p><p>While Ofsted does not directly inspect unregistered settings, inspectors are expected to consider the progress of pupils who attend off-site provision, when conducting school and college inspections. In all cases, the local authority or school acting as the AP commissioner, should assure itself that the provision is delivered by high quality staff with suitable training, experience and safeguarding checks.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 12/03/2019 16:36:17 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
