Funding Update

Important Update Regarding Funding

The pre-election period started at 00:01 on Saturday 25 May. During this time, there will be certain restrictions on the conduct of government business.

This arises from the special circumstances of government business during an election campaign. With it, come a need to maintain (and be seen to maintain) the impartiality of the Civil Service - as well as avoid any criticism of an inappropriate use of official resources.

With that in mind, the DHSC have assessed the position regarding the proposed funding for the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate qualification. They have concluded that any decisions, or wider activity relating to making the funding available, should be suspended for the moment (pending fresh consideration by the new government that will form after the General Election). This pause relates to funding decisions and activity by DHSC only.

Due to the restrictions placed on the Civil Service during the pre-election period, no further details, or communications, can be provided during this time. However, we will provide more information as soon as we're able.
