We support you in delivering your own care training to your care workers. Our service gives you the confidence to run your own care courses safely and effectively.

Contrary to popular belief, delivering your own courses does not just involve completing a train the trainer course. You need adequate safeguards and quality assurance in place. Regulators such as the CQC and local authorities may want to audit your policies and procedures to ensure integrity. You must also have someone dedicated to carrying out quality assurance on your trainers.

We have a specialist team of consultants who can assist with developing your own in-house carer training, including planning, course development, resources, assessments, quality assurance, and evaluation methods.

Why Train Your Care Workers?

Part of managing a well-led service is ensuring your team is competent or working towards competence. This should not be a tick-box exercise, but based on measurable outcomes. Knowledgeable and competent staff help achieve your service's aims and objectives.

Training is a regulatory requirement and is carefully considered when bidding for contracts. CQC, Ofsted, and local authorities expect evidence of up-to-date training. The CQC itself does not issue a list of mandatory training, nor do they directly recommend qualifications; that is the role of Skills for Care. When delivering in-house courses, there is no issue as long as you can prove the training is fit for purpose.

Consequences of Poor or No Training

Training should not be a tick-box exercise. Imagine your workers being asked by CQC inspectors to describe their actions when responding to a safeguarding issue, and they cannot articulate it despite attending a recent course. Imagine failure to articulate issues such as safe handling of medication and best interest decisions.

Key Risks & Regulatory Impact

  • Potential Harm: There is a serious risk of potential harm to people using your service.
  • Regulatory Ratings: You are unlikely to be viewed as safe by the CQC. Questionable leadership will severely impact your overall rating, which you are required to disclose and publish.
  • Contracts & Reputation: Substandard training directly impacts your reputation and your ability to secure contracts.
  • Recruitment Challenges: You may find it difficult to recruit and retain high-quality staff.
