Key amendments are noted below.
Regulation 5(3)(c)(ii) and (6) amends regulation 3 of the 2011 Regulations so that a person must be in employment or actively seeking employment in order to qualify for support.

To be eligible for support, any person under the age of 18 must have lived in the UK for a period of 7 years prior to registering for an individual training account.
