At Cognassist we understand the challenges that providers face in claiming LSF so we’ve worked with funding and sector specialists to produce a

This booklet is for organisations who are considering submitting a claim. It may also be useful for others who are unsure of the process or who simply want to know more about supporting learners with additional
learning needs.
Find out all the LSF essentials you need to know in this accessible guide where we’ll cover the essentials of submitting a claim, how much can be claimed, completing the ILR, evidence packs, auditing and more.
Why claim LSF?
Learning Support Funding (LSF) is provided by the ESFA to help providers work flexibly and provide support to meet the needs of learners with an identified learning difficulty and/or disability. This will enable these learners to achieve their educational goals.
Where learners receive additional learning support tailored to their specific needs it enables them to effectively participate, progress, and ultimately complete their apprenticeship and succeed in their chosen career.
