Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 24th February 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have calculated how many full and part-time staff will be required to continue the current work of Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education following the transfer of responsibilities to the Department under the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill

Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities)

The department has calculated that the number of staff transferring from Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) into Skills England will ensure core IfATE functions continue. These roles will make up a portion of the total workforce of Skills England. There will be additional staff from the department supporting on Skills England’s broader remit of work.

This continuity in resource levels will support qualification and apprenticeships development, including working with employers, to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of service.
