Overview
Online training for supported living staff should support safe, person-centred practice while respecting people's rights, choices and independence. This route is for providers training support workers, senior support workers, personal assistants, team leaders and managers. It covers safeguarding, mental capacity, medicines support, infection control and positive routines, while local support plans, supervision, positive risk-taking and competency checks remain essential.
Best for
Supported living providers onboarding new support workers, personal assistants, and care staff
Managers assigning mandatory refreshers across shared supported settings and people living in their own homes
Team leaders and senior support workers who need visible certificates, renewal dates, and role-specific evidence
Organisations supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, or complex support needs
Providers preparing evidence for supervision, audits, governance reviews, contract monitoring, and CQC-focused records
What This Can Cover
Supported-living-specific practice, including promoting independence, respecting choice and control, positive risk-taking, boundaries, tenancy awareness, community access, and working in a person's home.
Safeguarding, mental capacity, consent, record keeping, escalation, whistleblowing, and recognising changes in a person's needs, wellbeing, relationships, or environment.
Core mandatory training topics such as infection prevention and control, health and safety, fire safety awareness, moving and handling awareness, information governance, and medication awareness where relevant.
Specialist or role-specific areas such as autism, learning disability, dementia, mental health, communication needs, positive behaviour support, delegated healthcare activities, and medicines support.
Manager evidence needs, including course assignments, certificates, completion dates, renewal tracking, overdue learning visibility, and clearer reporting across mixed supported living teams.
Why Teams Use This Route
