Financial assurance: monitoring post-16 funding

This guidance explains how we monitor post-16 data returns to ensure funding is eligible and the data used to drive funding calculations and allocations processes is robust. We summarise the relevant rules and guidance for the current funding year to help you review your data returns and ensure funding is correct.

This guidance is for colleges, training providers and other providers delivering post-16 funding including 16 to 19 study programmes, T Levels, apprenticeships, adult skills fund, support funding and advanced learner loans. Specifically, it is aimed at those staff who submit data to us and those who review data quality.
