Mandatory & Statutory Practical Training Courses For Care Staff

Staff working in a healthcare sector need to ensure that they undertake mandatory and statutory training to ensure they are competent to do their job safely. This training package is designed to provide effective learning and practical for staff to ensure they understand how to work safely in a healthcare environment.

What Is Mandatory Training?

It’s important for care staff to understand the difference between ‘mandatory training’, which can mean two different things.

Mandatory training is of the type that an employer believes is essential to carrying out the role safely and effectively, but it isn’t necessarily legally required or a matter of compliance. For example, an employer who cares for people with Dementia would train its staff in Dementia.

Statutory training, on the other hand, would be training that must legally be completed, so that employer is meeting their legal obligations in accordance with their regulator, such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC), or laws such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act of 1974.
