Individual employer skills funding

Individual employers (people who directly employ their care or support staff) are now able to apply for grant funding directly from Skills for Care to support the full costs of training and development for themselves and their personal assistants.

The Workforce Development Fund (WDF) for individual employers is funding from the Department of Health disbursed by Skills for Care. Its aim is to support the ongoing development of people working within the adult social care sector.
