2025/26 Funding Year Update

Non-compliance tolerance reduced to 2.5%

The Department for Education has halved the acceptable non-compliance rate from 5% to 2.5% for the current academic year. Inaccurate initial assessments are now one of the fastest routes to funding clawback. Our diagnostics are built to keep you on the right side of that line.
