In Scotland, there are 12 core training subjects that cover a range of topics such as communication, dignity, equity, health and safety awareness and many more. To ensure that you are complying with these subjects if you are in Scotland, we are releasing training courses that cover each of these topics. 

Firstly, we’re bringing you two new subjects, now available through our Mandatory and Compliance Training platform, which are entitled Adult Support and Protection, and Fire Safety. 

Let’s take a closer look at these courses below so you can see how they will benefit your staff and improve the level of care they can provide. 

Adult Support and Protection Scotland 

It is important for social care staff to safeguard the interests of those who are least able to protect themselves and who are most vulnerable and at risk of harm. This course provides the knowledge and skills you need to understand the full extent of your responsibilities in support and protection, and how those responsibilities fit into the wider context of support and protection. 

Course content includes, among many others, areas such as the legislation of adult support and protection that is specific to Scotland, as well as an exploration of what your responsibilities are, why some might be at risk, the types of harm and recognising the symptoms of harm and how to reduce its likelihood.
