The Public Accounts Committee has published its report into the monitoring, inspection and funding of Learndirect. It has made 5 recommendations: 1. Develop a new framework for identifying providers who are too big to fail; 2. The ESFA should publish its expectations on management fees; 3. Ofsted must urgently review its plans for assessing risks of private provider failures; 4. A new inspection deferral policy is needed for commercial providers; 5. The government needs not to hand so much power to private giants.
