This is to ensure EF A understands the increases in 16 to 19 programme size, based on planned hours, that have been indicated in the ILR returns (R06) for 2013 to 2014. EF A will ask institutions that have had the most significant increase in full time programmes to complete a straight forward return highlighting the main reasons for the increase. Institutions selected for funding audit, that have had an increase in full time programmes, will also be asked to complete this return. Planned hours testing will be included in the funding audit work conducted. To be eligible for funding all planned hours, whether for qualification or non-qualification activity must: • contribute towards a coherent study programme for the student • be timetabled, organised or supervised by the institution • be within the institution’s normal working pattern All institutions should ensure that planned hours recorded for the 2013 to 2014 academic year meet these criteria. EF A will continue to monitor the returns it receives to decide if further audit work is necessary.” https:/ / www.gov.uk/ government/ publications/ efa-e-bulletin-19-j une-2014/ efa-e-bulletin-for-schools-colleges-and-other-16-to-19-providers-19-j une-2014 For more events and training visit www.lsect.com 3
