Who it's for
Built for your senior team
Senior carers
The staff who deliver and oversee care day to day — and set the standard everyone else on the rota follows.
Team leaders
Responsible for safe, compliant practice on every shift — including the shifts they don't work themselves.
Managers and leads
Accountable for the systems behind safe care — and for the evidence that shows those systems work when an inspector asks.

CQC alignment
The quality statements this course supports
Supports your CQC evidence for Planning for the Future (R7) — training staff to provide compassionate, dignified end-of-life care and support advance care planning.
R7 — Planning for the future“We support people to plan for important life changes, so they can have enough time to make informed decisions.”
C1 — Kindness, compassion and dignity“We always treat people with kindness and compassion.”
E7 — Consent to care and treatment“We tell people about their rights around consent and respect these when we deliver care and treatment.”
Your evidence pack
Proof you can hand to an inspector
Every course produces a CQC-inspection-ready evidence pack for your records — documented proof that your team is competent, not just that they attended:
Certificate of competence for every delegate, issued on the day
Competency record for every delegate, opened within 48 hours
Spaced assessment results at weeks 2–3 and 6–8
Manager observation notes confirming safe practice on real shifts
Engagement report mapped to the CQC quality statements above (R7, C1, E7)
When the inspector asks how you know your staff are competent, this pack is the answer.
Certificates arrive on the day. The rest of the pack is compiled over the ten weeks that follow the session — spaced assessments, observation notes, then the full folder mapped to CQC quality statements. We chase, not you.
What delegates say
From the training room
The tutor delivered the training in a clear, professional, and engaging manner. All topics were explained thoroughly, with practical examples that made the learning easy to understand and apply. I would strongly recommend this trainer and training provider to others.
