The support for apprentices document sets out how apprenticeship providers:
- should assess and identify the needs of apprentices with learning difficulties or disabilities
- should support these apprentices
- can claim learning support funding, to help them make reasonable adjustments to support these apprentices
The English and maths flexibilities document has information about how providers can offer apprentices the option to study English and maths at a lower level, if appropriate.

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.
