Welcome to 2010.
The new financial year is just
around the corner our draft business plans for 2010/2011 will go to Board on
16/3/10 and be shared with our Stakeholders on 18/3/10.
We are still working to
improve our website and LancashirePlan and ask for your patience in this period
of change.
2010 will see a major change in how funding is allocated and we
move from working with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) to the
Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). These changes are planned nationally
for between August and December 2010. We will keep communicating with you to
explain how this will impact our services to you.
Welcome to the LWDP website.
Formed in 2003, the
Lancashire Workforce Development Partnership (LWDP) is an employer led
partnership representing over one thousand providers of independent Social Care
in Lancashire. The organisation manages the workforce development grants which
support employers by making funds available for staff training and development
with an ultimate purpose of improving Social Care in Lancashire for service
users by valuing and investing in the Social Care workforce.
Over the past
six years, with extensive support from Lancashire County Council and other
partners, LWDP has established itself within the sector and has become the
central point for its stakeholders to gain information, training funding and
support.
This website is the gateway to careers, training and funding
opportunities for the Lancashire independent Social Care sector.
Through the site you can –
- Book training courses
- Apply for funding
- Access vacancies in social care
To become familiar with the site click on the menu option on the bar above
and select a topic from the drop-down list. You will see that this changes the
menu of options on the left of the screen.
There is an 'accessibility' option at the top right of the screen that allows
changes to text size and information which tells you how to add other
accessibility options. Any changes to the text size will be remembered when you
re-open the site.
Where ever you are on the site you can get back to the home
page by clicking the 'house' icon again at the top right of the screen.
