## Notice

The introduction of the Lifelong Loan Entitlement (LLE) represents a major transformation of the Student Finance System and post-18 study and is a key part of the Department for Education's wider skills reforms. From its introduction in 2025, the LLE will provide individuals with a loan entitlement worth the equivalent of four years of post-18 education. This contract is for a consultation analysis of responses to 50 open questions from the consultation to explore stakeholder and individual views, and to contextualise these views with an understanding of the organisations/people presenting them.
