Combines online theory with an in-person practical assessment session. Flexible for shift workers who need to balance training with care commitments.
Our Blended Statutory and Mandatory Training offers the same extensive coverage as our one day course, but with a flexible format designed for care workers who need to fit training around shifts. The theory component is completed online at your own pace, followed by a shorter in-person practical assessment session.
This approach reduces time away from the workplace while still ensuring learners gain the practical competency needed to deliver safe, compliant care. The course is aligned with Skills for Care CSTF standards and recognised by CQC and local authorities.
Two stages: online theory, then practical assessment.
Complete the theory component online at your own pace. Covers all core statutory and mandatory subjects including health and safety, infection control, safeguarding, medication management, fire safety, and more. Accessible on any device, 24 hours a day.
Attend a shorter in-person session at our Cheadle Training Centre or at your premises to complete the practical assessment. This session focuses on hands-on skills such as manual handling, basic life support, and emergency response.
All core statutory and mandatory subjects across both stages.
Workplace safety principles, hazard identification, risk awareness, and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Safe handling techniques, use of hoists and handling aids, risk assessment, and protecting both carer and service user.
Standard and transmission-based precautions, hand hygiene, PPE, and infection prevention in care environments.
Recognising signs of abuse and neglect, reporting procedures, and understanding your duty of care under safeguarding legislation.
Safe administration of medication, the six Rs, handling and storage, and recording requirements.
Fire prevention, evacuation procedures, and emergency response in care settings.
Basic life support principles, emergency response, and when to seek specialist help.
Data protection principles, confidentiality, and information security in health and social care.
