Increasing Skills in Social Care Fund (Children & Young People's Services) TSI funding for individuals undertaking Health and Social Care NVQ's/Diplomas in the Children and Young People sector are managed and administered by the Children's Workforce Development Council.
It is our experience that this funding stream is in very high demand and when open does not stay available for long. If you are seeking to access this funding for any staff members you intend to undertake their training programme with regis, it is therefore advisable to either contact the CWDC or visit their website frequently for regular updates on future funding availability.
