Funding Rule Compliance

Keeping your provision aligned to DfE and devolved regions requirements from enrolment through to completion.

DfE and devolved regions funding rules are detailed, frequently updated and unforgiving when not followed correctly. A learner enrolled without the right eligibility checks, or monitored without the right evidence in place, can result in a funding claim that does not stand up. That puts your income, your reputation and your contract at risk.

Portland Solutions provides ongoing funding rule compliance support that keeps your provision clean at every stage of the learner journey, from the moment a learner is enrolled to the point their record is closed.

Why it Matters

Funding rule compliance is not a one off exercise completed at enrolment. It is an ongoing responsibility that runs for the life of every learner record on your ILR. Gaps in evidence, missed eligibility criteria or incorrectly claimed funding can all result in clawback, even where the training itself was delivered perfectly.

Many providers only discover compliance failures when an auditor finds them. By that point the options are limited and the financial consequences can be significant. The far better approach is to build compliance into every stage of your delivery process, so that nothing reaches submission without being checked against the rules that govern it.

That is exactly what Portland Solutions does. We bring a consistent, expert eye to your learner records throughout the year, ensuring your evidence is complete, your eligibility is sound and your funding claims are built on solid ground.
