About this guide
Our Mandatory and Statutory Training Guide helps UK healthcare and social care employers, managers and staff understand their training responsibilities and how to maintain a safe, competent and compliant workforce.
The guide explains the difference between mandatory and statutory training, outlines relevant UK legislation and regulatory expectations, and explores essential training topics such as safeguarding, health and safety, infection prevention and control, fire safety, moving and handling, and information governance.
Designed for care homes, domiciliary care providers, healthcare organisations and training managers, this practical resource also provides guidance on identifying training needs, maintaining accurate records, managing refresher training and demonstrating staff competence during inspections.
Whether you’re reviewing your organisation’s training programme or developing an induction plan for new employees, this guide will help you make informed decisions and strengthen your approach to workforce compliance.
