'We know apprenticeships work'
Many apprenticeships are not meeting expectations, support available for over-75's TV licences, and what to do if you're asked to pay money to a debt collection agency you don't owe.
From now, the over 75s will have to start paying for their TV licences. We speak to the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs Director, Policy Clare Sumner about what the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ is doing about the 1m pensioners who will receive demands for payment but should be exempt.
In his summer statement, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak promised a bonus for employers who hire apprentices over the next six months because βWe know apprenticeships workβ. But the latest Ofsted figures show that 42% of apprenticeships inspected in England are either inadequate or require improvement - and that they are struggling to inspect at all due to lack of resources. Money Box speaks to the Skills Minister Gllian Keegan MP.
And the debt collection firm that is demanding money from people who donβt owe it. What to do if it happens to you.
