THE ESFA has published the Exceptional Learning Support (ELS) guidance and cost form for academic year 2022 to 2023. Providers are being asked to complete the form for each ESFA funded learner whose learning support costs exceed £19,000 for:
- learners aged 19 and over with an identified learning difficulty and/or disability (LDD) without an education, health and care (EHC) plan.
- all age apprentices that have an identified LDD and are with or without an EHC plan.
- advanced loans-funded learners with an identified LDD without an EHC plan as part of the Advanced Learner Loans bursary fund.
