Consultation description

This consultation sets out in greater detail the FE funding and accountability reform proposals and how these will be implemented.

In July 2021, we consulted on proposals to reform the adult skills funding system, and the FE accountability system which would support this. The views from our previous consultation have shaped the reforms.

Read the Skills for jobs: lifelong learning for opportunity and growth white paper for more information about our vision to transform further education.

We have listened to the sector over the summer and we have decided to extend this consultation to give some stakeholders more time to engage with our proposals.
