Individual Employer Funding - Skills for Care
As an individual employer you can apply for the individual employer funding to train yourself and your personal assistants (PAs).
This funding can be used to cover training costs to develop your skills as an employer, direct costs of completing training/qualifications, hiring replacement support whilst your usual PA is attending training courses and travel.
Applicable to people who employ their own care and support through a personal budget from social care or health (personal health budget) or using your own money ('self-funder').
