We are often asked by Care Homes and Care Agencies, 'what training is mandatory for my care staff?'
Ensuring your staff have all the training they need to provide quality safe care is essential to achieve your best possible rating from CQC. However there often seems to be confusion around what subjects are mandatory and how often they should be updated.
Fortunately there is guidance out there to help you follow best practice. Skills for Care have developed their 'Statutory and mandatory training guide for adult social care employers'
This helpful document details the statutory and mandatory trainings subjects that provide essential skills and knowledge for care staff working within CQC regulated organisations. It provides details of the 'learning outcomes' and 'suggested refresher frequency'. It even references the CQC KLOEs and Fundamental standards
