star this property answer text <p>Our apprenticeship reforms have strengthened the quality of apprenticeships, so that employers can continue to look to them as a means of meeting their skills needs in the future.</p><p>New apprenticeship standards across all levels are being designed by employers, creating higher quality training that will lead to a more skilled and productive economy. As an employer-led programme, employers choose the type and level of training that they need to meet their skills needs. There were 163,700 starts on apprenticeship standards in 2017/18, which is more than 6 times higher than the number of starts in 2016/17. This shows that employers are moving quickly to this new higher quality offer.</p><p>Our reforms are making apprenticeships longer and better, with more off-the job training and appropriate assessment at the end. These changes are making sure that today’s apprenticeships reflect what businesses want and need.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>As part of the government’s Plan for Jobs, apprenticeships will be more important than ever in helping businesses to recruit the right people and develop the skills they need to recover post COVID-19. Apprenticeships also present excellent opportunities to young people seeking to start and build careers.</p><p>We recognise that employers, at the moment, face increased challenges with hiring new apprentices and so we will introduce a new payment of £2,000 to employers in England for each new apprentice they hire aged under 25, and a £1,500 payment for each new apprentice they hire aged 25 and over, from 1 August 2020 to 31 January 2021. We will also ensure that there is sufficient funding to support small businesses wanting to take on an apprentice this year. In addition, we have increased the number of reservations that small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) can now make through the apprenticeship service, from 3 to 10, enabling them to recruit more apprentices.</p><p>Details can be found at the link below: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/a-plan-for-jobs-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/a-plan-for-jobs-2020</a>.</p><p>We continue to listen to the views of businesses and are working closely with employers to help them make the most of our apprenticeship reforms and funding support offer.</p>

The department plans to publish the information relating to October 2020 in due course.</p><p>Where pupils become newly entitled to free school meals, local authorities and schools are able to quickly verify their eligibility using the department’s electronic Eligibility Checking System to ensure that this vital support is available immediately.</p><p>We have introduced a number of immediate measures, including the launch of the National Voucher Scheme, to ensure that children who usually receive benefits-related free school meals still had access to this support during the period that schools were previously restricted from opening to the majority of pupils. Schools received, and continue to receive, their funding for free school meals as normal.</p><p>Building on the significant support given to the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 outbreak, a new £170 million Covid Winter Grant Scheme has been launched by the Department for Work and Pensions, and will be run by councils in England.
