The DfE has updated its guidance for FE providers during the COVID-19 outbreak. The update includes new sections on high needs funding for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and traineeship flexibilities. It also includes updates on functional skills flexibility in apprenticeships and acceptance of confirmation emails for qualification achievement from awarding organisations. The traineeships guidance page has been updated with this new guidance. Comment on the relaxation of the traineeship rules can be read here.
