Training
We carry out thorough recruitment processes, including checking police records and references, and provide a comprehensive induction programme, so that carers only start working alone when they are ready for it. All our staff have appropriate training: all our carers and domestic support staff have completed training in person-centred care, health and safety, moving and handling, safeguarding people from abuse, equality and diversity, dignity and compassion, food safety and infection control.
The majority of our staff have, or are working towards, relevant care NVQs. All our carers have dementia training, while some have achieved Level 2 dementia training, safe handling of medicines, customer, end-of-life, sight awareness, diabetes, winter warmth and night care.
