The Apprenticeships (the Apprenticeship Offer) (Prescribed Persons) Regulations 2013

Under section 83A of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (c.22), the Chief Executive of Skills Funding is under a duty to prioritise funding for apprenticeship training for specified groups of young people who have an apprenticeship opportunity (“the apprenticeship offer”). These Regulations prescribe a further category of persons for the purposes of the apprenticeship offer, namely persons who have a disability within the meaning of section 6(1) of the Equality Act 2010, that is a physical or mental impairment where such impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
