Large employers' calls for flexing the apprenticeship levy would hurt small employers argues Gillian Keegan in the Times today. With 98% of the apprenticeship programme budget spent in the last two years, she is correct that any new flexibility would limit opportunities for SMEs. But no mention of the small matter of half a billion of unallocated levy funds though. Whether you support flexibility or not, supporting the need for a long-term sustainable funding system is vital be that for apprenticeships or a reformed flexible system. https://lnkd.in/es5zXtnV

In recent weeks, the BSA team, along with our partners at the University of Portsmouth and RNLI, have been conducting research on the floating ability of those in the Black and Asian community. This research is being done to not only prove the myths of Black participation in aquatics to be false, but to also provide valuable information to the participants on their unique floating style. Traditionally, the "Starfish Method" has long been taught as the way to float. While this method may work for some, there is a large proportion of swimmers and non swimmers that cannot use this technique to keep their nose and mouth out of the water. And unsurprisingly, we have seen so far in the research that each participant involved in the study has had slight variation in their floating style, hence why we have coined the term: FIND YOUR FLOAT While the statistics and measurements are important, helping our participants find their float is a reward beyond measure. We have seen major lightbulb moments for some participants as they realize that they indeed can float, and that they do have a space in the water to feel comfortable and capable of enjoying aquatics.
