Adult Education Budget Allocations 2025

Adult Education training provision that is accessible to all West Yorkshire residents. These contracts will deliver training provision that responds to individuals as set out in the West Yorkshire AEB Funding and Performance Management Rules and will encompass all eligible provision delivered as part of the statutory and policy entitlements, as well as regulated and non-regulated learning. Provision should respond to local need, emerging priorities and sector skills shortages, and take account of the spread of provision required in each Local Authority area. Contracts can be delivered West Yorkshire wide or can be focused on individual/multiple Local Authority areas, allowing eligible West Yorkshire residents to access provision locally. The provider must ensure accessibility of learning is considered in their proposals, taking into account reasonable travel to learn patterns.
