This training applies to all health and social care workers that work in settings such as Care Homes, Hospital Wards, Day Centres, or supporting an individual in their own home.

It is designed to give social care workers the underpinning knowledge and requirements needed when working in a professional setting and also includes information and resources for coronavirus: COVID-19.
