FUNDING STREAMS

Northumberland Care Alliance (NCA) is hosted by Northumberland Care Trust and receives main funding via our host organisation. For full details please see www.dh.gov.uk

In addition NCA is currently able to offer funding from The Training Strategy Implementation Fund (TSI) which is provided by the Department of Health via the learning and skills council (Skills for Care) and is available to social care employers to support the achievement of the national minimum standard in social care. This fund is available in Northumberland via NCA.

 

TSI Funding Criteria

• Units must be completed between 1 January 2010 – 17 March 2011
• Funding cannot be claimed more than once for any unit and does not apply to any training that has been supplied to you free of charge. This means that you can only access funding once.
