First, this research aimed to gather relevant evidence in order to try to explain the apparent under-representation of learners declaring a learning difficulty and/or disability (LDD) in European Social Fund (ESF) Priority 2 and 5. In order to do this it specifically sought to: identify providers with high levels of LDD declaration; and identify success factors in improving LDD representation and levels of disclosure. Second, the work aimed to interpret the evidence into relevant actions and guidance to support the learning sector to address the apparent under-representation of learners with an LDD on ESF Priority 2 and 5 provision. More specifically to produce: internal guidance for the Skills Funding Agency to support and challenge the ESF Priority 2 and 5 and mainstream providers with which they work; and guidance for learning providers to increase engagement with people with LDD and encourage disclosure. There are therefore three outputs from this research. This report presents the evidence gathered from the various methodological strands.
