Description

From April 2017, any employer with a PAYE bill of over £3 million per annum has to pay an Apprenticeship Levy. As a large employer, we pay 0.5% of our annual payroll into the Levy pot, with a target of achieving 2.3% apprenticeship starts each year. After two years, any unspent levy expires and we lose access to it.

This is a continuation of an existing provision of a level 4 Apprenticeship in Intelligence Analysis. It was introduced as part of the wider developments to introduce the National Intelligence Unit (NIU) within HMPPS, with enhanced intelligence capability at local, regional, and national levels. This was considered essential to better identify threats to the safety of prisons but also to feed into the need for better intelligence sharing with Partners regarding extremism, serious organised crime, and corruption. The Apprenticeship provides Learners with knowledge at foundation degree level allowing staff to analyse and share intelligence using advanced analytical techniques with confidence. The risk of not proceeding is that the development and use of intelligence would be weakened and would fail to provide senior decision-makers with the confidence to use intelligence presented, making prisons less secure, undermining the confidence of our partners in the fight against extremists and organised crime.
