Skills for Care launches new statutory and mandatory training bundle for adult social care
The Training Hub by Skills for Care has launched a new statutory and mandatory training bundle, bringing together essential learning in one accessible package designed specifically for adult social care.
The new eLearning bundle has been developed by Skills for Care, the organisation behind the statutory and mandatory training guidance used across the adult social care sector. Aligned to part 1 of that guidance, it provides employers with a trusted way to deliver the essential learning their workforce needs to work safely, confidently and effectively.
By bringing eight key training topics together in one place, the bundle makes it simpler for employers to manage induction and refresher learning, while giving staff practical, interactive training that reflects the realities of everyday care.
Created specifically for adult social care, the bundle provides sector-led learning to help staff build the knowledge they need to work safely, confidently and effectively. The training uses accessible, interactive content and practical examples from everyday care settings, helping learners understand how to apply their knowledge in their day-to-day role.
The bundle includes six core eLearning modules identified within part 1 of Skills for Care's statutory and mandatory training guidance for all adult social care workers:
- Health and safety awareness
- Fire safety awareness
- Moving and handling objects
- Introduction to infection prevention and control
- Adult safeguarding awareness
- Child safeguarding awareness
It also includes two additional modules that may be required depending on a worker's role and responsibilities:
- Principles of medication administration
- Food hygiene awareness (available later in 2026)
Learners can complete the modules at their own pace and in the order that best meets their learning needs. Each module includes a knowledge check and certificate on completion.
The Statutory and mandatory training part 1 bundle provides approximately five hours of eLearning and is available for £39.50. Individual modules can also be purchased separately, giving employers the flexibility to choose the training that best meets the needs of their workforce.
The bundle is available now through The Training Hub by Skills for Care.
