Workforce Development Fund (WDF) for QCF and NVQ units |
|
|
|
|
Update December 2011:
Skills for Care have taken the following actions:
- Extended the range of QCF units that are eligible for claiming workforce development funding to include all units that are covered by the level 2 and 3 diplomas and adults pathway in the level 5 diploma.
- Extended the deadline for NVQ unit claims which now need to have been completed and submitted by 16 March 2012
This is a new funding stream from the Department of Health disseminated by Skills for Care, its aim is to support the ongoing professional development of staff across the Adult Social Care Sector through vocational qualifications. It replaces what was previously called the Training Strategy Implementation Fund (TSIF).
Care Learning is again managing a share of this national fund for adult social care voluntary and independent sector employers including micro-employers and direct employers (people who employ their own care and support staff).
Care Learning only distributes this fund in the West of England area (Bristol, Bath & Nth East Somerset, Sth Gloucestershire and Nth Somerset) and Gloucestershire to claim when their staff achieve specified training.
