Consultation description
Subcontracting education and training for learners over 16 is common. We want to review how we oversee the practice to:
- strengthen our monitoring and improve our assessment of risk
- get involved more quickly and decisively when needed
- make the rules and requirements clearer across post 16 funding
- reduce the volume of subcontracting overall
- stop subcontracting undertaken only for financial reasons
- keep subcontracting that meets special needs and improves access and opportunities for disadvantaged learners
