Mandatory Training for Carers
Caretips delivers Skills for Care aligned mandatory training for care workers (carers) working in domiciliary, home care and support living settings.
What is Mandatory Training?
Mandatory training refers to the essential training that individuals within specific professions are required to complete as a legal or regulatory obligation. In the context of CQC (Care Quality Commission) and Skills for Care, mandatory training typically includes a set of core subjects and skills that employees in the care sector must undertake to ensure they have the necessary knowledge and abilities to provide safe and high-quality care services. This can include areas such as health and safety, infection control, safeguarding vulnerable adults, medication management, fire safety, first aid, and more. The purpose of mandatory training is to ensure that care providers meet certain standards and maintain a safe environment for both staff members and service users.
Trained carers who are motivated can have a real positive impact on people under their care. They can be a ray of hope and facilitate people receiving care and their families to navigate and cope with day to day living challenges. Caring for people should not be taken as an easy task and a natural occurrence. Care workers need training, skills and expertise to perform their role effectively and professionally. This can be achieved by quality mandatory care training that is fit for purpose.
