Departmental funding to cover administration costs of delivering the scheme for financial year 2021/22 is £14.1m and for 2022/23 is £12m. The training element of SWAPs is funded separately through the adult education system.

Funding was not ring-fenced within the wider Jobcentre support offer and therefore cannot be identified.
