Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England (SASE) - TUC Response

The Government is currently legislating to provide a statutory framework for Apprenticeships, including the development of a Specification of Apprenticeship Standards setting out the required content of the new Apprenticeship framework. As part of this process the Government is consulting on detailed aspects of the new specification as it will apply in England. The TUC response to the consultation makes the case for Government to set universal minimum standards for the Apprenticeship framework in a number of important areas whilst also promoting flexibilities to meet the needs of particular groups, especially adult apprentices. It is also recommended that the employment rights and responsibilities element of the framework is strengthened and that the role of trade unions, including how to join one, is covered in more detail.
