[Withdrawn] Adult Social Care Training and Development Fund: a guide for employers

Published 8 April 2024

This guidance was withdrawn on 31 July 2024

This fund has been superseded by the Adult Social Care Learning and Development Support Scheme.

Applies to England

Introduction

The government is launching the new Adult Social Care Training and Development Fund. Eligible adult social care (ASC) employers can claim varying levels of reimbursement from this fund, for spend on upskilling the adult social care workforce in England. ASC employers can get reimbursement for:

• care skills funding, including for the newly developed Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate
• revalidation funding

This scheme will fulfil a key commitment set out in the People at the Heart of Care white paper, which outlines our 10-year vision for adult social care, to increase funding for learning and development and create thousands of new training places.

This guidance details the government’s offer, ahead of the launch of the digital online claims service, with the aim of enabling the adult social care workforce and ASC employers to be able to start to plan their training and development for the financial year 2024 to 2025.

The fund is made up of 2 elements:

• care skills funding
• revalidation funding

Claims for reimbursement will be made through a digital online claims service, which will go live in summer 2024.

Care skills funding

This is funding to provide reimbursement for a wide range of training and development. The range of training and development supported by this fund will be adjusted over time to reflect emerging needs in the sector.

Over £50 million of the total fund value is dedicated to supporting up to 37,000 individuals in direct care roles to enrol onto the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate qualification by March 2025. See further information on the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate on the Skills for Care website.

Further information on the total funding available under care skills funding will be confirmed later in the year, prior to the digital online claims service going live in summer 2024.

Revalidation funding

As part of this fund the government intends to make contributions to the cost of continuing professional development for revalidation for eligible, registered staff. More information about this element of the fund, along with the total funding available, will be confirmed in summer 2024.

How to claim

The fund is intended to be administered by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

While claims will be eligible for learning and development started on, or after, 1 April 2024, there will be a phased approach to onboarding for the initial launch of the digital online claims service in summer 2024. NHSBSA will manage the onboarding and send invitations to ASC employers to access the service.

An updated version of this guidance will be published with further information on how to use the digital claims service to claim reimbursement prior to it going live in summer 2024.

Please be aware that while this new fund is backed by a significant amount of funding the overall funding pot is limited and, once exhausted, claims submitted will not receive reimbursement. Throughout the year the sector will be periodically notified of remaining funding.

Transition from the Workforce Development Fund

The new fund is based on the Workforce Development Fund (WDF), administered by Skills for Care, and allows ASC employers to receive direct reimbursement through a digital online claims service. The WDF will be scaled down in the financial year 2024 to 2025. However, the new Adult Social Care Training and Development Fund is backed by significantly more funding and will therefore enable the workforce to access more funded training and development places.

This is a first iteration of the guidance and may be subject to change in the future.

Care skills funding

Fund overview

The government is making funding available to ASC employers of eligible adult social care employees to claim reimbursement for training courses and qualifications that have met government quality assurance standards.

The total funding available for this element will be confirmed in summer 2024 once the online digital claims service is live. As part of this funding, government is providing over £50 million to support up to 37,000 individuals in direct care roles to enrol on the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate qualification by March 2025.

As the service progresses to full roll-out, new courses will become eligible for funding. See Appendix A for an initial list of quality assured training courses and qualifications that will be funded.

Funding eligibility criteria

Funding is available for non-regulated members of the adult social care workforce in England, including deputy and Care Quality Commission registered managers and agency staff. To qualify, their employer (including local authorities) must meet all of the following criteria:

• provide an adult social care service

• directly employ care staff in England

• have completed the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS).

Please see ‘Glossary of terms’ for clarification of terms such as ‘care staff’.

Funding is not available for regulated members of the adult social care workforce (registered nurses, nursing associates, allied health professionals and occupational therapists) and they should seek access to revalidation funding. More information, along with the total funding available, will be confirmed in summer 2024.

Funding is also available for personal assistants within the adult social care workforce employed by an employer who has completed the ASC-WDS for their organisation or establishment.

Personal assistants whose employers are unable to complete the ASC-WDS should seek funding for training through Skills for Care’s Individual Employer Funding scheme.

How the funding can be used

ASC employers will be able to claim a reimbursement for any of the quality assured training courses and qualifications identified in Appendix A, including the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate.

Please note that any pre-conditions of enrolment for courses and qualifications will be set out by awarding organisations and training providers and are not contained within this guidance.

All courses and qualifications will have a set reimbursement rate that is a cost contribution to the overall course cost. The set rates are included in Appendix A. Please note that these may be changed in the future, however, a reasonable notice period will be provided to the sector and any changes would only effect training started after a specified date.

The payment caps reflect the maximum, not default, reimbursement amount. Where the evidenced spend for a course is lower than the payment cap for that specific course, the reimbursement will be for the evidenced spend only. No employer will be reimbursed more than the value of any legitimate evidenced spend. Repeat courses per employee are not eligible for reimbursement.

Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate

The Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate has been developed from the widely used Care Certificate standards, and is part of our commitment to recognising our care workforce for the professional career it is. Currently over 50% of the workforce do not hold an accredited qualification, but the sector is filled with experienced and committed colleagues who deserve to be acknowledged for the skilled care they provide. Our aim is that the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate will provide a route for thousands of staff to gain a recognised qualification, reaffirming care work as a career, and helping to promote recruitment and retain talent.

It is our intention for the sector to work towards a Level 2 qualification for all staff which is why we have introduced the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate qualification. Having a more recognised and qualified workforce will offer a greater peace of mind to people who draw on care and support, families, loved ones and care providers that people with the right skill set and values are joining the profession. This new qualification will compliment current Level 2 learning programmes and will be viewed by the Care Quality Commission in line with the existing Level 2 options.

Please note that to enrol on the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate an individual will need to be aged 19 or older at enrolment (this is due to government policy on the continuation of study of English and Mathematics, whereby all students study maths up until the age of 18).

For this qualification funding is available for non-regulated members in direct care roles, including agency staff. This includes:

• activities workers

• care workers

• personal assistants

• rehabilitation workers

• shared lives carers

• advocacy workers

• any other roles where staff work with people who need the care and support of the adult social care workforce in England

Qualifying members must be employed by an employer (including local authorities) who meets all of the following criteria:

• provides an adult social care service

• directly employs care staff in England

• is registered on the ASC-WDS

Please see ‘Glossary of terms’ for clarification of terms such as ‘care staff’.

How to access the funding

ASC employers will be able to claim reimbursement for the costs of training and development for eligible employees through a digital online claims service, which will be accessed through GOV.UK and launch in summer 2024. Reimbursement will be in line with the rates set out in Appendix A. An updated version of this guidance will be published in due course with further information on how to use the service.

To access the online digital claims service and submit claims for eligible employees, ASC employers will be required to create an account for their organisation on the service.

All accounts will need to be verified, therefore employers must also complete the ASC-WDS. The ASC-WDS is a free online data collection service run by Skills for Care that covers the adult social care workforce in England.

Following account verification, ASC employers will be able to submit claims on behalf of their employees. For each claim, employers will be required to:

• confirm the employee is employed in an eligible role and that the information provided is correct to the best of their knowledge
• confirm the employee has started the course or qualification
• confirm that training is eligible (see Appendix A)
• provide evidence that the training is eligible and has been completed, including:
  • proof of payment (which should include the payment organisation and recipient organisation)
  • what the payment was for
  • amount
  • VAT number (if not exempt)
  • date of payment
  • dated certificate of completion
  • unique learner number (if applicable)
  • candidate registration number (if applicable)
  • name of awarding organisation
  • name of training provider or learning centre

Reimbursement will generally be made following training or course completion. We are exploring whether we can make partial payments in advance of completion for some courses, particularly accredited qualifications. Further information will be provided in summer 2024.

Please note:

• ASC employers will have access to the Secretary of State’s grant determination letter for the ASC Training and Development Fund, and will be required to sign a declaration of adherence to the scheme rules and grant conditions before claims will be processed. Costs paid out in error or for fraudulent claims will be recovered, as set out in the grant determination letter. Further action including criminal proceedings may be taken if a fraudulent claim has been made
• where possible, ASC employers should retain any evidence of an employee starting a course as this may be requested as part of post claim assurance processes carried out by the intended service administrator, NHSBSA
• funding will be capped for each employer. For the financial year 2024 to 2025 the cap will be set at £4.5 million per employer and will apply to claims submitted across all elements of this scheme: Care Skills Funding and Revalidation Funding inclusively. Where an employer is part of a group of companies (for example, has a parent company and/or subsidiary companies) the £4.5 million cap will apply as the total available to the whole group of companies
• reimbursement is not available for backfill pay
• funding will generally be paid out for instances where courses are failed but completed (for example, failure to pass the final assessment)
• reimbursement is not available for course repeats

When the funding will be available

Training and development that meets the scope and eligibility criteria outlined above and starts between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 will be eligible for funding support in the form of reimbursement of costs incurred.

Claims for courses started between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 will not be reimbursed after 31 March 2027.   

Please be aware that while this new fund is backed by a significant amount of funding the overall funding pot is limited and, once exhausted, claims submitted will not receive reimbursement. Throughout the year the sector will be periodically notified of remaining funding.
