Supported living workers support individuals with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities, to live as independently as possible. Our Statutory and Mandatory Training for Supported Living Workers is tailored to address the unique challenges of this setting.

The course covers all core subjects required under the Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF), but with a supported living focus throughout. From promoting independence while managing risk to safeguarding vulnerable adults in shared tenancies, every module is designed to reflect the real situations supported living workers encounter daily.
