Summaries of the FE Commissioner's intervention reports on FE colleges and the Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills' responses.

The FE Commissioner assesses FE colleges and other institutions if they:

• are rated inadequate by Ofsted
• receive a notice of concern from the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) over their finances
• fail to meet SFA minimum standards

The commissioner carries out an assessment and reports to the Apprenticeships and Skills Minister setting out his recommendations for how the FE college or provider can improve.

The Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills then writes to the chair of governors of the college or provider, setting out the outcome of the intervention assessment and confirming the next steps.
