Partners must complete a membership form and their Adult Social Care Workforce Dataset (ASC-WDS) must be up to date in order to claim.  Claims are paid on the basis of relevant evidence being provided. The evidence required is a copy of the completed certificate for each learner and their Unique Learner Number.
