Training services - adult social care
We want you to be the best you can be, and we believe the customers we all work with, deserve this too. The adult social care training handbook aims to support all your training and development needs. All our learning opportunities, some of which are mandatory, are designed to meet relevant and current legislation and are regularly reviewed and updated. You can view an interactive, searchable version of the training handbook on the My Care Directory.
If you cannot see what you want in this handbook, simply give us a ring and we will be happy to discuss the requirements you or your team may have, and how we can support you with this.
