Request a free consultation

DfE and devolved authority funding rules are detailed, frequently updated and critical to the success of every funded programme. Gaps in eligibility checks, evidence collection or learner records can create unnecessary risk, impact funding claims and lead to costly audit findings.

Portland Solutions provides practical funding rule compliance support that helps training providers build confidence in their processes, maintain audit readiness and protect funding throughout the learner journey.

What is included

We work alongside your team to embed compliance into the everyday rhythm of delivery — not just at enrolment, but across the entire learner journey.

Why it matters

The case for getting ahead of risk.

Funding rule compliance is not simply a point-in-time exercise at enrolment. It is an ongoing responsibility that spans the entire learner journey and underpins every funding claim submitted.

Missing evidence, incorrect eligibility assessments or non-compliant learner records can all create avoidable risk, regardless of the quality of delivery provided.

By embedding compliance into everyday processes, organisations can strengthen governance, improve audit readiness and protect funding with confidence.

Portland Solutions works alongside providers to ensure learner records, evidence and funding claims remain compliant, accurate and aligned to current requirements throughout the year.
