1 hour 20 minutes, 9 modules. Care homes are owned and managed by a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, the NHS, and organisations from the private and voluntary sectors.
Care homes are owned and managed by a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, the NHS, and organisations from the private and voluntary sectors.
They differ from other workplaces because they are not only places of work; they are also homes for their residents.
They should be places where the dignity and freedom of the residents is respected, and where everyone's health and safety is managed effectively.
To achieve this, everyone involved must understand their responsibilities. This course discusses the legislation that applies to care homes, the responsibilities of management and employees and looks at developing systems of work.
It also covers what to do in some common hazards you might encounter as well as some Emergency situations.
It concludes by discussing some aspects of the work environment and staff welfare.
This course is aimed at anyone working in the care sector and should act as an introduction to health and safety in their place of work.
As this course covers a wide range of health and safety situations the course provides a strong basis to further build on with more training. CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves.
Other courses in our Health and Social Care suite complement this one and when combined can form the basis for the candidates work towards achieving their Care Certificate.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.

Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.
It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.
Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.
Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.
For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
