With increased scrutiny now being implemented by the Department for Education (DfE), EducationScape is pleased to offer an online conference programme this summer term aligned to key data and funding requirements.
Following positive feedback from our previous events and the launch of our forthcoming webinars with Validera’s Director of Funding Assurance, Karl Bentley, this unmissable online conference puts the spotlight on the key risk areas currently driving the increased number of targeted reviews.
Delivered across three expert-led webinars, we are delighted to welcome Partners from RSM, with supporting guests, who will share practical guidance and answer your questions on priority funding concerns and the vital importance of accurate ILR data cleansing.
This online conference-style programme will spotlight key areas of targeted data and funding risk. Attendees will gain clear, practical guidance on maintaining compliance across key funding streams, including 16–19 bursaries, free meals allocations, and Additional Learning Support entitlements, whilst also ensuring readiness for forthcoming R14 returns.
Each two-hour session is designed to be focused and practical, with dedicated time for your questions to be addressed by experts. Whether joining live or on-demand, all attendees will have full access to the complete programme.

- Tuesday 16 June, 10:00-12:00: Guidance on 16-19 bursaries and free meal entitlements with Lisa Smith and Emma Gipson, RSM.
