Reducing Risk. Preventing Injury. Promoting Independence.
Falls can have serious physical, emotional and long-term consequences — particularly for older adults and vulnerable individuals. Many falls are preventable with the right awareness, observation and care practices. Our Falls Prevention in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, awareness and confidence to identify fall risks, take preventative action, and respond appropriately if a fall occurs. This training supports safer environments, protects dignity and promotes independence while reducing avoidable harm.
