Notes
-
This field to be returned for aims that start on or after 1 August 2019 (this does not include restarts).
-
This field is returned at the start of the learning aim and will continue for the duration of the aim. For example if the learner is in a devolved area at the start of the learning aim and then moves to outside of a devolved area, this postcode field will not be updated and the funding arrangement will remain in place by the devolved area for the duration of the aim.
-
Please refer to the Adult Education Budget (AEB) funding rule for the definition of residency.
-
If the learner's postcode is unknown, providers must return a postcode of ZZ99 9ZZ
