As one of the funding rules to fund an apprenticeship- there has to be an Apprenticeship Agreement in place the trainer / funding should have a copy.

sadexpunk – just let me know if you need any pointers.

I’m not sure how much research you have done on this yet, but here goes my five penneth worth.

You should contact his training provider to let them know what’s happened – they won’t be to happy as if he withdraws from / has to leave the programme it impacts on their performance which could also impact on them getting future contracts. In a nutshell an employer cannot make an apprentice redundant because he cannot pay them:

https://www.gov.uk/take-on-an-apprentice/pay-and-conditions-for-apprentices
http://www.anapprenticeship.co.uk/making-apprentice-redundant.html

Secondly find out who is funding the contract, whilst his apprenticeship is with ABC Training, they may well be sub-contracting the funding from a college or other training provider. You can ask the funder to allow him to continue his training at the College / Training Centre – this may be unpaid – ultimately he is the responsibility of the funder. The funder / training provider should be looking to find a new employer for your son

Thirdly, I think that has already been pointed our apprentices have enhanced employment rights, what does his contract of employment / apprenticeship contract say

I’ve read some more of your post if your son feels that he is being bullied or victimised by a foreman / charge hand he again should report this to the Training Provider- your sons age is immaterial as the provider should be safeguarding your sons welfare. The provider has to safeguard all funded learners (who are receiving government funded training) – this is a very serious point, learners have to feel safe whilst they are learning, OFSTED grade providers on this

I work for a Training Provider if you want to private message me I can find out for you if the Training Provider has a direct funding contract or sub-contracts it from a College or other Training Provider. My email address is in my profile

A few years Mrs W and I went to my parents for Xmas day lunch. Unfortunately MiL not happy as “everyone went there for Xmas lunch” – compromise agreed we would go there for tea. Arrived there at about 4.00pm only to find that no one had ate lunch – MiL insisted that everyone had to wait until we got there before they could eat. Anyway two Xmas lunches later and angry looks from rest of family

Thank god it will soon be over

My dad used to work from British Gas and the same thing happened a number of years back in the Hope Valley in Derbyshire. They had to bring in engineers from all over the East Midlands and Yorkshire

VW Tiguan – performs well in snow, 2.0 Diesel averaged 50 mpg

Excellent response

The DCC disease has spread to Cumbria

There is something called Patient Choice where you can be referred by your Dr to a private hospital – not sure if it is nationwide or covers all health issues. Worth checking though

Adjusting a sun bed whilst sat on it, it sprung back and smacked me across the bridge of my nose – broken nose

Even during the week you can get some bargains on the early trains if you can plan your journey in advance.

Does this help? I work for a company that delivers training in the construction sector

The BBC seem to have done the business on the “fly on the wall” stuff recently – the Lifeboat was excellent as well

Are you in a National Park!?

Believe it or not – I was the youngest

I was the foreman of a jury. Petty theft of a rug, the accused’s story collapsed when her mother gave evidence. Accused was guilty, never found out the sentence as I think that she had been convicted of other crimes. Judge not happy as the cost of the trial was counted in thousands and the stolen rug was less than £50

We couldn’t even see Bill’s mothers (Bakewell)

I did that rally a number of years ago – finished last

He was in Matlock this afternoon, the Derbyshire Dales isn’t exactly a hotbed of socialism

Well worth watching

They’ll have to repeal the European Communities Act (1972) first, so I suppose it will depend on how long it takes to get through Parliament

I’m not a Dr but you may have a torn medial meniscus; I had similar symptoms / pain. If I am right, is there a prize?

Is it on the inside of the knee?

There are still plenty of European Social Fund tenders appearing which are good until March 2018 and that date is due to changes in funding organisations (SFA to LEP). DWP have issued two notes about their funding basically saying they don’t know anything about the impact of Brexit.

Both trails get very busy at Weekends. If you do stop at the Royal Oak at Hurdlow share a starter / pudding – the portions are huge!

Blue Monday later?

I’m in, but many “friends” are out (I’ve had de-friend a few on Facebook because the bigoted racist claptrap they are posting) To the Brexiters there is only one issue – immigration

You have to print off the ticket and swop it for a wristband

It probably is worth attending

It’s definitely more on the gate

If you are going to the Eroica – I would suggest that you will need wellies or other waterproof footwear. I’ve been down this afternoon and there is standing water in places on the showground.

Also if you have pre-booked tickets (or got the free tickets courtesy of Hope CM) if you have two tickets both people have to be present to collect them – looks like Mrs W will be queuing tomorrow

There are some very nice tweeds as well

I think your other half posted something on Facebook (I live near Bakewell) – you were in a bad way from what she said.Glad that you’re on the mend

Was the off on Stanton Moor?

I think that the offer may have now expired

Aren’t they for throwing up in?

Move to Derbyshire – you know it makes sense

Is it an NVQ programme – if so you will need to complete units etc. Have you paid for the course?
