Tailored mandatory training specifically for supported living workers. Covers all core CSTF subjects with scenarios and practical examples relevant to supporting individuals in supported living settings.
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.
All core statutory and mandatory subjects tailored to supported living.
Risk assessment in shared tenancies and individual flats, lone working safety, and balancing independence with risk management.
Safe handling techniques for supporting individuals with varying mobility needs, use of handling equipment in residential settings, and promoting independence.
Maintaining infection control standards in shared living environments, food safety, and managing infection risks in communal areas.
Recognising signs of abuse and neglect in supported living settings, balancing choice and safety, and safeguarding adults with diverse needs.
Safe administration, prompting, and recording of medication, supporting individuals to self-medicate where appropriate, and managing controlled drugs.
Fire risk awareness in shared accommodation, evacuation planning for individuals with diverse needs, and fire prevention in domestic settings.
Basic life support principles relevant to supported living settings, emergency response, and supporting individuals with complex health needs.
Confidentiality and data protection in shared living settings, handling records for multiple tenants, and secure information sharing with families and professionals.
Safe food handling, storage, and preparation, allergen awareness, and basic hygiene practice for anyone involved in preparing or serving food to the people they support.

Same eight core CSTF subjects, same length, same price, but the scenarios are built around supported living, balancing a person's independence and choice against safety, mobility support equipment, communal-area infection control, and confidentiality in shared accommodation.
Risk assessment and lone working balanced against promoting independence, manual handling using mobility equipment while supporting autonomy, infection control and food safety in shared communal areas, safeguarding that respects choice without compromising safety, medication administration including supporting self-medication, evacuation planning for residents with diverse needs in shared accommodation, and confidentiality practices in a shared-living setting.
Yes, £49 per person, £44 for Synergy members, identical to One Day, Blended, Domiciliary, and Childcare. Only Tier 2 Oliver McGowan Training is priced differently, at £70, £63 for members.
