Working in partnership with Wiltshire Council, Swindon Borough Council and Skills for Care inc (South West)

We are a voluntary Partnership, supported by local Social Care Employers, Wiltshire Council, Swindon Borough Councils and Skills for Care (South West).

Our purpose is to support the learning and development of the social care workforce in Wiltshire and Swindon. Our area supports the independent, voluntary and private social care sector..

We currently support the workforce with two types of funding.  

• Contributory Grant - provide by the Partnership, sourced from both Local Authorities, aimed at supporting the mandatory learning and development
• Skills for Care Funding  -  Workforce Development Funds (WDF)  Available  if your NMDS-SC registration is up-to-date and compliant.
• This funding supports Apprenticeships and funded QCF / NVQ units.

Welcome to Learning and Development for the independent, voluntary and

private care sector (IVP) in Wiltshire and Swindon.

Latest News: Skills for Care have extended the NVQ deadline.  

Make sure you update your NMDS-SC to remain eligible for any units your employee has completed.
