Workforce development fund

Changes to the Workforce Development Fund for 2024/25  

The department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)  has announced a new learning and development fund for adult social care. 

The WDF will be scaled down in 2024-25, with all employers claiming WDF directly from Skills for Care. It will only be possible to claim WDF for learning which is already progress, to ensure that employers who have paid for learning and development are not left out of pocket.

On this basis,  Homecare Associations WDF services came to an end on 31st May 2024.

Since 2005, Homecare Association has distributed approximately £7.5 million through the Workforce Development fund helping to support the Health and Social care sector.
