WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FUNDING 2011-12

The Skills for Care Training Strategy Implementation Funding (TSIF) has been withdrawn after 5 years of funding Learning and Development within our partners in the Private and Voluntary Sectors.

However, I am delighted to be able to inform you that it has been replaced by the Workforce Development Fund.

I am also proud to inform you that the London Borough of Redbridge Adult Social Services has committed to remain as the Lead Partner and will again be administrating this funding on behalf of the Collaborative. Please note that we will continue to maintain our no administration charge policy.

For more information on what this funding is and what it covers, please read the attached 'List of QCF Eligible Units' For FAQ's please refer to the Skills for Care website click here.

It is important to note that Partners can only claim funding through one partnership and that they may only claim this funding if they have fully completed and or updated the required NMDS-SC data as below:-

If updated between 1 April 2010 – 31 March 2011, you are eligible until 30 September 2011
If updated after 1 April 2011, you are eligible until 30 March 2012

For more information please see attached NMDS leaflet.
