AELP conducted a recent survey on the funding for the Level 2 and 3 Adult Care Worker apprenticeships. 96% of providers who responded said that the current maximum funding of £3,000 to cover the costs of training and assessing an adult care worker apprentice at level 2 was insufficient with 99% saying that the same rate was not enough for a level 3 apprenticeship. 59% of the surveyed providers are either reducing the number of apprentice carers they train or withdrawing from the programme altogether due to the level of funding available for these apprenticeships. More detail on this is available here.
