At Friday’s Covid-19 Forum we covered the information for HEIs set out in the ESFA Response to their SUBCONTRACTING CONSULTATION. This sets out the ESFA plans against all 10 Proposals with two that require action now, in preparation for the Autumn Term 2020/2021.

Find out more about how and when the subcontracting arrangements will be implemented and how they will affect you by listening to the webcast – the link can be found in the last page of the slide pack which can be downloaded from the link below:

At Friday’s Forum we also dicussed the latest NURSING ASSOCIATE GUIDANCE, PUBLISHED HERE. This, when coupled with the ESFAs tightening practices for subcontracting, has re-surfaced a range of long-standing queries about placements – and whether the services provided by employers are training and therefore subject to subcontracting rules.

UVAC is discussing this with the ESFA and HEE – guidance to follow.
