The guidance has been updated to include information about supporting learners undertaking apprenticeship units.

We have published new guidance on English and maths flexibilities for apprentices with learning difficulties and disabilities. Providers now have more flexibility to make lower-level English and maths qualifications available when an apprentice does not have an education, health and care plan. This reflects a change in the apprenticeship funding rules for 2024 to 2025. We have also updated guidance on how to support apprentices by making reasonable adjustments.
