The Provider Access Legislation the details & benchmark 7

The Provider Access Legislation

There has been a slide deck created titled 'all you need to know' that we recommend you read. It covers:

1. Why does this matter?
2. What is the provider access legislation?
3. What makes an encounter count?
4. What happens if we don’t comply?
5. Where can I go for more support?

There are at a glance details for both colleges and schools which can be found on this page. There's a suite of resources to support you to meet the benchmarks which are hosted on this page. Don't forget the local ITPs which are within the Which Way Your Way provider directory. There is a Cornwall, Plymouth and Devon version of the directory.

Making it meaningful, what does this mean?

Key aspects (at a minimum) you need to consider for any encounter and to make it meaningful:

1. Information about the provider and the approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships that the provider offers,
2. Information about the careers to which those technical education qualifications or apprenticeships might lead,
3. A description of what learning or training with the provider is like,
4. Responses to questions from the pupils about the provider or approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.

As ever contact us for more information and support we are here to help.
