Every year Skills for Care distributes funding to user led organisations across the country to provide training for individual employers and personal assistants.
ULO funding grants are awarded to pay for training which will improve the knowledge and skills of personal assistants (PAs) and their employers (individual employers).
- Individual employers are people who employ their own care and support staff using a social care direct payment from their local authority or their own money.
- Personal assistants (PAs) are people who are employed directly by individuals (or families) who require care and support, rather than care providing organisations.
These training courses are fully funded and have been designed by people with lived experience specifically to be suitable for individual employers, personal assistants, self-employed PAs and individuals commissioning them.
