• Recognise when concerns may need safeguarding or management attention

Who Is This Duty of Care Course For?

Suitable for care-home staff, domiciliary carers, support workers, healthcare assistants and other employees working with people who receive care or support. It can support induction, refresher awareness or wider staff development where appropriate.

Supporting Safer and Person-Centred Practice

Duty of care involves considering wellbeing and safety while respecting people’s rights, choices and independence. Real situations can involve competing considerations, so staff need to understand their own role, work within organisational procedures and know when to seek guidance or escalate a concern rather than making decisions outside their responsibilities.

Flexible Online Care Training

Study online at your own pace without needing to attend a classroom. The flexible format is suitable for individual learners and organisations looking for accessible awareness training across care and support teams.
