Protecting People. Preventing Harm. Promoting Safe Care.
In health and social care settings, safety is not optional — it is a legal, professional, and moral responsibility. Our Health & Safety Awareness in Health and Social Care course is designed specifically for care staff, supervisors, and managers, ensuring they understand their duties, risks, and responsibilities in real care environments. This course equips staff with the knowledge, awareness, and confidence to work safely, reduce incidents, and protect service users, colleagues, and the organisation. Delivered by experienced healthcare professionals, this training goes beyond theory — it focuses on practical, day-to-day safety in care settings.
