Learning Development Support Scheme (LDSS)

The Government has announced a new fund which has replaced the Workforce Development Fund.


This fund is centrally administered by NHS Business Services and is not connected to Skills for Care or WMCA


Eligible adult social care employers in England can claim staff training costs from the Adult Social Care Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS).
