Although achievement rates in core survival skills remain low, year-on-year improvements have occurred after the age-related competency framework was established a couple of years ago. Independent feedback confirms the issue lies less in programme design and more in inconsistent delivery. To continue to lift achievement, we have introduced real-time feedback, quality assurance reviews, and clearer expectations tied to funding. From 2025/26, all providers will be required to meet WSFL Approved Provider standards, ensuring consistent delivery of essential survival skills. Extra support will be given to providers with the lowest competency results through mentoring, workshops, and tailored coaching.
