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.
