answer text <p>We seek the opinions of current and potential users of apprenticeships on a regular basis to identify the impact of our reforms. This includes the Education and Skills Funding Agency’s (ESFA) day to day conversations and departmental engagement with businesses, providers and apprentices which include regular ministerial meetings.</p><p> </p><p>Some recent changes that have been made as a result of this continual engagement include introducing flexibility for levy-paying employers to transfer up to ten per cent of their levy to other employers. Furthermore, the Institute for Apprenticeships’ ‘Faster and Better’ process will speed up and simplify standards development. In addition, the ESFA ‘Apprenticeship Service Roadmap’ outlines the most significant developments to the apprenticeship service over the coming months, continuing to deliver improvements which meet employer and provider needs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Apprenticeship Grant for Employers provides £1,500 to help smaller employers recruit a new apprentice aged 16 to 24. We have made £170m additional funding available over 2014-16 financial years to fund over 100,000 additional incentive payments. Provisional figures show that between Feb 2012 and July 2014 there were 95,200 apprenticeship starts for which a payment was made through the AGE Grant. A further 8,200 were in the pipeline (started but not yet paid).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Apprenticeship reforms are putting employers in the lead of designing apprenticeships, making it easier and more attractive for them to offer more in the future. Funding reforms will also provide a financial incentive to support smaller businesses taking on an apprentice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>We do not believe there is a need for such a body. Under the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (ASCL), apprentices are employed under an Apprenticeship Agreement, this ensures they are protected under the Employment Rights Act 1996. Apprentices' pay is covered under the National Minimum Wage regulations and HMRC is responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations. HMRC provides comprehensive advice and guidance for employees through the Pay and Work Rights Helpline. This is available via the GOV.UK website at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/pay-and-work-rights-helpline" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/pay-and-work-rights-helpline</a> .</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
