LDSS Guidelines

What is LDSS and how can we access funding for this training?

The LDSS was launched in September 2024 by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The scheme supports the non-regulated ASC workforce to advance their careers, develop new skills and specialisms and gain recognition for their existing expertise. The overall funding pot is limited. Once this has been exhausted, claims submitted will not receive reimbursement.

LDSS guidance

Further news on LDSS and OMMT: The DHSC will be providing funding to support the rollout of The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism™ to the Adult Social Care sector as part of the Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS). This funding will be specific to Oliver’s Training, separate to the overall LDSS funding already available for other training and qualifications. Training completed between April 2025 and March 2026 will be eligible for reimbursement. Further details will be provided in due course.
