Skills for Care understands that employers and their staff need help to access funding for training.

Our six areas offer support and guidance to employers in accessing funding to train their staff.

However, it is the responsibility of the individual to directly contact the funding body, and to thoroughly check the criteria for eligibility when using the Skills for Care signposts to potential sources of skills funding.
