Commentary on provisions of Act Section 2: Welfare of children: apprenticeships and technical education
Section 2 inserts into the 2009 Act new section 101A, which extends the safeguarding duties to apprenticeship training providers (which receive funding under section 100(1A)) and providers of education or training associated with a T Level or approved technical education qualification (which receive funding under section 100(1B)).
	The obligation is on the Secretary of State to ensure that the terms of the financial resources provided to these providers contain the safeguarding duties. The safeguarding duties will be contained within the funding agreement that the provider enters into with the Secretary of State.
	The provider must make arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children receiving education or training as part of an apprenticeship or T Level. They must also have regard to any guidance by the Secretary of State in considering what arrangements are required.
