	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>Ofsted is a non-ministerial department, which reports directly to Parliament. It inspects services providing education and skills for learners of all ages and inspects and regulates services that care for children and young people. Its role is to make sure that organisations providing education, training and care services in England for children and students do so to a high standard. Ofsted inspects a range of provider types and different types of provision, including apprenticeships. It does so impartially, as an independent body.</p><p>For more information on how Ofsted inspects apprenticeships, please see the current Further Education and Skills Inspection Handbook here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-education-and-skills-inspection-handbook" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-education-and-skills-inspection-handbook</a> An updated version of the Handbook, released under the new Education Inspection Framework, is due to take effect from September 2019 and can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-education-and-skills-inspection-handbook-eif" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-education-and-skills-inspection-handbook-eif</a></p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 13/06/2019 13:17:14 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2018 answer text <p>Apprenticeship starts at higher levels (including degree-level apprenticeships) are growing and have increased by a quarter in the first two quarters of the 2017/18 academic year in comparison to this time in 2016/17. Degree level apprenticeships, specifically, have seen as many starts in the current academic year as the previous three years combined.</p><p> </p><p>Over 90% of employer PAYE schemes with larger levy declarations (over £150,000) have registered an account on the apprenticeship service. This illustrates a high level of engagement amongst levy payers and we are working with employers to help them plan their future apprenticeship programmes. This includes account managing over 1,000 of the largest levy-paying employers to help them shape their own programmes. Account managers have a caseload of approximately 50 to 60 employers, who they meet with face-to-face on a regular basis.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 19/04/2018 07:42:50 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
