answer text <p>The text of the call for evidence made it clear that there were concerns amongst local authorities that home education increased these risks but did not claim to present evidence to show whether this was in fact the case – one of the purposes of the call for evidence was to allow respondents to give information on views on these matters, and on the issues of registration and monitoring of home education.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The government plans to invest nearly £7 billion during the 2018/19 academic year, to ensure there is a place in education or training for every 16 to 19 year old who wants one. This is made up of £5.7 billion as set out in the 2018/19 published 16 to 19 allocations (available at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2018-to-2019-academic-year</a>.) along with our estimates of: additional high needs funding from the Dedicated Schools Grant that will be invested by local authorities in young people with complex special educational needs or disabilities (whose support costs more than schools and colleges can meet from their annual budget); and investment in apprenticeships for 16 to 18 year olds.</p><p>By 2020, funding in adult skills participation will have increased through maintaining the Adult Education Budget at £1.5 billion per annum, by investing nearly £2.5 billion in apprenticeships per year, double what was spent in 2010, and by extending the reach of Advanced Learner loans so that funding has been available to meet demand. In addition, the total amount of investment in skills through the European Social Fund (ESF) is between £250 and £300 million per annum. Plans are being made to determine what provision should be delivered as a replacement for ESF.</p>

answer text <p>Information on the apprenticeship levy collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and spent in each local authority or region of the UK is not available in the format requested. Many larger levy-paying employers are headquartered in one region but employ staff across the country meaning that we cannot attribute the levy collected and spent in individual locations. Individual employers have control of the expenditure of apprenticeship funds based on their current and future skills needs.</p><p>Information on the number of apprenticeships funded in each region or local authority district is not available. However, we can provide the numbers of apprentices that have had some or all of their apprenticeship supported through levy funds based on their home postcode. Please see the attached files for levy-supported apprenticeship starts by region or local authority district; these figures are from May 2017, when changes to the apprenticeship funding system were implemented following the introduction of the levy, to April 2018.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Nationally, high needs funding has risen by £1 billion since 2013-14, to just under £6 billion in 2018-19, and will rise to over £6 billion in 2019-20. The additional £1.3 billion announced last year for schools and high needs is above and beyond what was promised at the 2015 spending review, and means that local authorities received an additional £140 million in high needs funding in 2018-19. Allocations for each local authority this year can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019</a>.</p><p>Each local authority will attract a 1% increase in underlying funding per head of the population aged 2-18 years old in 2018-19 compared to 2017-18, following the increase of 0.5% they attracted last year. Underfunded authorities will continue to see higher increases – of up to 6% per head of of the population aged 2-18 years old, compared to 2017-18.</p><p>We are listening to the concerns that some have expressed about the pressures on high needs budgets. We are monitoring the impact of our national funding formula for high needs on local authority spending decisions, and are keeping the overall amount of funding for high needs under review.</p>
