Access Tools

The Knowsley Care Partnership supports local providers of health and social care to access Government funding to train and qualify their staff. This is in line with the Government objectives from the Community Care Act 2000.

There are two levels of funding:

National Training Strategy

• This can be used to train staff who are unqualified
• You must be a care provider within the Knowsley borough
• The staff you want to access the funding must be employed in Knowsley

Training Support

• This is tied to being a member of the Care Partnership
• You cannot have double funding for a candidate
• There must be an adult trail within your organisation of the funding received and how you have used it to support staff

The Care Partnership shares information and resources and supports one another as a group, as well as keeping you aware of what is happening within Knowsley's health and social care sector. We are one of 22 partnerships.
