Increasing Skills in Social Care fund
We are supporting over 6000 social care employees to get their NVQ.
The fund is currently closed (June 2010)
The Increasing Skills in Social Care fund closed at the end of March 2010. We have distributed over £5m to social care organisations, supporting 6,214 social care employees to get their NVQ since the fund opened in October 2008.
We are in the process of reviewing our funding for social care qualifications for 2010-11, based on feedback received from employers. As soon as we have more news about funding we will make an announcement on these web pages.
For existing registrants, you can still claim end payments in the usual way. If you are unsure about how to do this, go to https://secure.cwdcouncil.org.uk/tsi/tsi.dll and download the 'employer user manual' from the home page.
