A Level 3 short course covering workplace safety, risk assessment, and safe working practices specific to health and social care environments.
Our Health and Safety in Care Settings course is a Level 3 short course designed to equip care workers and managers with the knowledge to maintain safe working environments in care settings. From risk assessment to infection control, this course covers the essential health and safety principles that protect both staff and the people they support.
The course is grounded in the social model of care and human rights-based practice, ensuring that health and safety is not just about compliance but about protecting the rights of individuals to live and be supported in safe environments. Strength-based, person-centred approaches are embedded throughout.
Key topics and learning outcomes for this course.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH, RIDDOR, and their application in care settings.
