    Quote
    Dr Richard Williams wrote to the Secretary of State for Children, School and Families on 24 April 2009. In his letter, Dr Williams raised concerns that the work-based programme led apprenticeship delivery model operated by Rathbone will not meet the criteria for an apprenticeship under the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill. The Secretary of State for Children, School and Families' response will be placed in the Library. Officials have since met representatives of Rathbone and Barnardos to explore how these concerns might be addressed and we are committed to continuing this dialogue during the passage of the Bill.
