The framework document underpins the relationship between The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and the Department for Education (DfE).

It sets out:

• IfATEs core responsibilities
• the governance and accountability framework that applies between IfATE and DfE
• how the relationship works in practice, including governance and financial matters

It does not convey any legal powers or responsibilities, but both parties will operate within its terms.
