New online Foundation Programme for Working in Residential Services

Posted on 14 May 2020 Last updated on 19 May 2020

COVID-19 has brought extensive challenges to all of us, not least ensuring that staff cover is provided in service areas that remain open and ensuring that staff are well informed working in areas possibly unfamiliar to them.

The OTC Solution:

We are now offering a 12-module Foundation ONLINE Programme to people working in Residential Services.

Who is it for?

The programme is ideal professional development for:

  • employees already in role but who wish to refresh skills and knowledge;
  • new recruits holding a Level 5 but need in-depth understanding to deliver high quality, safe, person centered services;
  • staff redeployed to work in an unfamiliar area.

The Programme:

The programme covers areas such as PCP and Rights, Positive Behaviour Support, Intimate and Personal Care, Records and Report Writing in addition to the key legislatively required areas.

Full list of the 12 courses are available HERE

Price during COVID-19:
