Funding for 2026/27 to support workforce development 

The Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS) will continue in 2026/27, helping adult social care employers in England fund eligible staff training. Funding is limited, so claims will close once the funding pot is exhausted. Funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and administered by NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), the LDSS supports the non-regulated workforce, including deputy and registered managers, and agency staff. Employers need an up-to-date Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS) account to claim.
