Our Recommendations for CQC providers guide includes a section around induction related training, including further information about health and safety training.
The section includes what generally should be covered by the training, who should deliver the training, how competence should be signed off, recommended resources and what formal qualifications could be considered.
This induction applies across social care and health and is made up of 15 standards which make new members of staff ready to practice within their specific sector. Standard 13 focuses on health and safety.
We have materials to support you with the Care Certificate.
In domiciliary care a large proportion of staff work alone. By providing appropriate First Aid equipment, you can help your staff and the people they care for.
Our lone worker safety guidance is strongly recommended to anybody who works alone.
Learning and development should focus on the practical skills workers need to do their job but also keeping the values they need to put them in practice.
A key part of selecting the right learning package for your organisation is finding the right learning provider.
