Statutory and Mandatory Training for Domiciliary (Home Care) Workers

Tailored mandatory training specifically for domiciliary and home care workers. Covers all core CSTF subjects with scenarios and practical examples relevant to providing care in people's homes.

Domiciliary and home care workers face unique challenges that differ from residential or clinical settings. Our Statutory and Mandatory Training for Domiciliary Workers is tailored to address these specific needs, with scenarios, case studies, and practical examples drawn directly from the home care environment.

The course covers all core subjects required under the Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF), but with a domiciliary care focus throughout. From manual handling in confined home spaces to medication management in people's homes, every module is designed to reflect the real situations home care workers encounter daily.
