National Training Strategy Grant Sample Clauses

National Training Strategy Grant. The National Training Strategy (NTS) grant was announced as a local authority social services ring-fenced grant to take effect from 2003-04. The aims of the grant were to support the training of social care staff across the statutory, private and voluntary sectors, with the expectation that the majority of the fund would be spent on supporting the achievement of NVQs in social care in order to meet the National Minimum Standards being used for registration and inspection by the National Care Standards Commission. Ring-fencing was removed from 2004-05. For 2005-07, the Department of Health specified that "the NTS grant may be used towards expenditure incurred or to be incurred by local authorities" and contained no further conditions. The intention for 2007-08 is that NTS will be used to “assist local councils to ensure that appropriate resources are made available to develop their own staff and those in private and voluntary organisations providing social care services on their behalf in order to meet the staff training and qualifications standards within the relevant National Minimum Standards”. 44 The NTS grant amounts to some £100.8m in 2006-07, an increase from the previous year. Table 6.01 shows details of the amount of the NTS grant to Councils with Social Services Responsibilities (CSSR).
