Currently care providers must register their interest and be invited to apply via the NHSBSA.  Register your interest using this link : Adult Social Care Development Support Scheme – Private Beta Onboarding (snapsurveys.com).  After expressing interest in using the online claims service through the form, ASC employers will be contacted by NHSBSA to start the onboarding process in due course. This is a phased onboarding process, guided by NHSBSA. For the first few months, access to the online claims service is only possible through an invitation from NHSBSA.

Note that only the employers of eligible care staff will be able to access the online claims service – claims cannot be submitted directly by care staff or training providers-this includes training via HCPA or CPA.

ASC employers must complete, or have completed, the ASC-WDS. Once the new account is verified and the onboarding process is complete, eligible ASC employers can submit claims on behalf of their employees. To claim, employers will need to provide evidence as outlined below:

For each claim, ASC employers are required to:

• Confirm the employee is employed in an eligible non-regulated care role, including deputy and CQC-registered managers and agency staff, and that the information provided is correct to the best of their knowledge
• Provide the employee’s UK national insurance number for identity verification purposes
• Confirm the employee has started the course or qualification
• Confirm that training is eligible (see ‘Eligible training courses and qualifications’ published alongside this guidance)
• Provide the following evidence that the training course or qualification is eligible:
• The name of the awarding organisation
• The name of the training provider or learning centre
• The name of the training course or qualification
• Provide the following evidence that the training has been paid for, including:
• Proof of payment (which should include the name of the organisation that made the payment and the name of the organisation that received the payment)
• The name of the training course or qualification paid for
• The amount paid
• VAT number (if not exempt)
• The date of payment
• Provide a dated certificate of completion (except for in the case of qualifications, whereby 60% of the reimbursement value should be claimed when the employee starts the course)
• Where possible, ASC employers should also retain any evidence of an employee starting a course as this may be requested as part of post-claim assurance processes carried out by the service administrator, NHSBSA.
• A deadline of 21 March 2025 (inclusive) applies for claims submitted this financial year. Late claims submitted between 22 March 2025 and 31 March 2025 (inclusive) may be considered on a case-by-case basis
