This training provides information about what works well for care employers that employ staff who regularly work alone.
It’s based on learning and recommendations from research that Skills for Care did with adult social care employers that employ lone workers. It has top tips for best practice under key headings such as recruitment and retention, planning the workload, learning and development, health and safety, and supporting mental health and wellbeing.
This learning will help you to better understand how to recruit people that are suited to lone working and how to support them to stay safe and healthy at work.
This training is relevant for staff that work at a managerial level in care organisations that employ staff who regularly work alone, and individual employers. The recommendations and tips are based on an independent research study that Skills for Care commissioned in Autumn 2018 about lone working in the adult social care sector in England.
