All organisations, including franchise operations, wishing to claim from the UKHCA Skills for Care project, assuming we are successful, have to complete a partnership form. If these forms are not completed and returned to UKHCA we are unable to include your organisation in our bid and therefore if we are successful you will be unable to claim any funding.

10 Care Assistants wishing to do NVQ2 @ 6 units per award = 60 units
1 Care Worker wishing to undertake NVQ3 @ 8 units per award = 8 units
2 Managers wishing to undertake NVQ4 @ 8 units per award = 16 units
Inductions 1 unit each
Foundation 1 unit each
Verifier 1 unit old and new qualifications
Assessor 1 unit old and new qualifications
Units to be funded under Skills for Care England 2006/07
If the organisation does not have any other source of funding for this training then the answer is the same as Total Units Required. In some instances the organisation has some funding from elsewhere if this is the case this should be entered into “Funding from other Sources”.
Skills for Care is not able to fund all your training requirements. It is assumed that you will obtain funding from other sources.
The two columns should add up to Total Units Required.
