Applies to England

1. Information: adult education budget (AEB) postcode file and guidance

To support the devolution of the AEB, we have published a file detailing the funding bodies responsible for funding each postcode in England. We have also published an accompanying guidance document.

You can use this data file to aid your learner enrolment and complete your ILR, by assessing which learners will be funded by each funding body based on their postcode at the start of their learning.

You can find out more on our AEB devolution page.

2. Information: 16 to 19 funding guidance for academic year 2019 to 2020

We have published the 16 to 19 individualised learner record (ILR) funding returns guide for academic year 2019 to 2020. The ‘what’s new’ section in the guide helps you find updated areas.

The guide outlines the main features of the 16 to 19 funding arrangements for funding returns for 2019 to 2020. The guidance books are an integral part of our funding agreements and contractual arrangements for young people aged 16 to 19 and those aged 19 to 25 with an education, health and care (EHC) plan.
