Understanding LDSS funding for adult care qualifications
The Adult Social Care Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS) may help eligible adult social care employers in England claim towards eligible learning and development costs.
Funding depends on the current scheme rules, the employer, learner, training provider, qualification, relevant dates and available budget. A qualification appearing on the eligible list does not guarantee a claim will be accepted. LDSS is an employer reimbursement scheme and is not a direct funding offer to individual self-funding learners.
Check the current options
Visit our funding information page for current guidance, or explore our Highfield Adult Care qualifications. Self-funding options are also available.
Early Years and Residential Childcare qualifications can be paid for by individuals or their employers. We do not advertise these qualifications as LDSS funded.
Always check the official eligible courses and qualifications list and current scheme guidance before making funding decisions.
