10. New ‘simplified’ funding formula (part 1) x x x =BR Base rate PW Programme weighting DU Disadvantage uplift ACU Area cost uplift Fully-funded qualification Funding BR = One of 13 rates on the SFA matrix (else current apprenticeship rate) PW = Based on the Sector Subject Area (1, 1.12, 1.3, 1.6, 1.72 or 1.92) DU = Based on learner’s home postcode. If in one of the 27% most deprived areas (based on IMD 2010) then the DU is between 1.08 and 1.32 ACU = Based on delivery location, this is a South East weighting, which rises the closer the delivery to central London (1.2 max)

11. New ‘simplified’ funding formula (part 1) x x x =BR Base rate PW Programme weighting DU Disadvantage uplift ACU Area cost uplift Fully-funded qualification Funding Co-funded non-apprenticeship qualification (unweighted) x x x =BR PW DU ACU _ xBR 0.5 x x x =BR PW DU ACU x 0.5 Co-funded apprenticeship qualification (weighted)

12. New ‘simplified’ funding formula (part 2) A ‘single earnings method’, based on current workplace in-year on-programme monthly funding in arrears, with double payment in month one (n+1 ‘instalment calculation) Achievement to be 20% of the weighted funding Large employer discount 25% & 25+ discount 20% (detail yet to be published) unless the maximum rate for an FE loan Job outcome payment of 10% of weighted funding for eligible non-achieved learners Funding cap of £4,400 total BR per academic year A ‘transitional’ factor of no more than +/- 3% in 2013/14 and +/- 6% in 2014/15 on ‘like-for-like provision and the providers earnings from 2011/12 (and “protect ESOL separately”

13. 07/06/201305-02-105-02-13 2013/14 Simplified Funding Rates > Cover note > QCF > QAA > Non-reg > Appren http://readingroom.lsc.gov.uk/SFA/2013_14_Simplified_Funding_Rates_20130218.xls Last updated 18 Feb

14. 07/06/201305-02-1 Curriculum planning summary Natural temptation will be to model every qualification with rate in SFA spreadsheet At what point does a fall in funding rate warrant redesign of delivery or removing/replacing? -5%? -10%? An increase in funding rates could mean planning less as who wants to over-deliver? Impact (winners and losers) likely to be very varied, and with in-year funding you are in control How will awarding organisations respond, and how to ensure right quals rather than just well funded?

15. 07/06/201305-02-1 Data implications Data quality still very important, and don’t expect audit to be any less burdensome There have been some changes to the individualised learner record (ILR), but essentially same process The ILR spec for 2013/14 is on theia.org.uk The Data Service is “creating brand new, dynamic systems”. LARA to become LARS, LIS to become SKIFS and OLDC to become DES. See www.thedateservice.org.uk/news/dcft2013_14.htm

32. 32 LUNCH

33. 33 Due Diligence (Workshop) Denise Bishop & Paul Champion

34. •  What does Due Diligence mean to you, what is your experience of it and what are your questions? •  What is our current view and experience of Due Diligence on the ground? •  What do we think the direction of travel is for Due Diligence as a process? Responding to Emerging Issues? Necessity… Demand Led… or Embedded? 34

35. •  We are in an ever changing market ? •  Government still believe sub-contracting delivers a “modern and cost effective supply chain” •  Continuous appetite for innovation, wider range of provision and change? •  Continued drive for More with Less! •  Improving Quality – More Responsive / Engaging – More Rigour •  Remember: You are “Paid for Paperwork” BUT “judged on Performance and Quality” the balance between these two has never been more important (This is where the DD battle ground is..) •  RTO does not mean you will get any cash! 13/14 Funding Rules: College must carry out Stringent due diligence on any potential sub contractor. •  2012/13 Subcontracting Register (as at 13 May 2013) 1011- Subcontractors / 2095 –Individual Contracts £563,370,400 35 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13&Beyond 200+ 600+

36. 36 20 Essential Elements of DD •  Check due diligence process (make sure you know what they want) Don’t be complacent even with primes you know. •  Make sure information you send is current and in date. •  Hype and propaganda (stick to justifiable reality) •  Check you credit score / Look at accounting ratios (RTO is a good benchmark) Meeting medium and long term liabilities. •  Policies / Procedures are they up to date, do they show review? •  How is IAG assessed •  CVs & Certs of staff relevancy and up to date? •  IV’s and EV reports are they OK? (Actioned?) •  Centre approval/Direct Claims Status •  Minutes of meetings (if you say you meet, have evidence) •  RTO registered ? (vital at all levels) •  UK Provider Ref Number •  Sub Contractor Declaration to SFA ? •  Health & Safety Risk assessments / Reports •  Equality of Opportunity •  Delivery Locations and standards. •  Profile of Learners and sector offer. (Why You?) •  At risk policy •  New Education & Training Qual - Award L3, Certificate L4 & Diploma L5 •  Embed DD into Quality Cycle and SAR process

37. 8 37 Policies / Procedures Supporting Docs Delivery Quality… Finance… 4 24 8 10 So… its not something that can be done on the hoof anymore. It needs to be planned, consistent, and continually reviewed (Embedded)

38. 38

39. 39 •  RTO, Assurance, Due Diligence are key processes that need to be built into your planning processes. Move from “Reactive to Strategic.” •  From “Backward Looking to Forward Thinking.” •  No hype, propaganda or hearsay, just verifiable facts. (no wrong signals) •  Open honest relationships are key. •  Justification means no quick contacts. •  Short term risk averse primes. •  Look beyond the obvious to make you stand out. •  Digging, references, social media, guarantees, warranties & caution. •  Said in same breath as SAR, QIP and CIF…… •  Remember…it is a key “selling document” too!

40. 40 QUESTIONS… •  What haven't we answered? •  Any thoughts you would like to share to whole group?
