Staff Training In Health and Social Care Protects The Staff
It seems obvious that staff training in health and social care is important. What is less obvious are the reasons why it is important. The main reason for training is that staff and employers have a duty to ensure that clients are looked after, working with laws and legislation to protect client’s dignity and safety. But there are other less apparent reasons for training.
Knowing the right methods for caring and protecting clients is vital to ensuring the client is safe. But it is also important to protect the staff. Ensuring you are following up-to-date procedures and methods reduces the risk of errors and prevents accidents. This means they can be safe in the workplace.
For example, by undertaking AOne’s Moving and Handling Course, staff can learn how best to lift and prevent injury.

Staff training identifies and fills gaps in knowledge
Whether completing a new course or a refresher, up-to-date training helps identify and fill gaps in knowledge. This could be knowing how to administer emergency medication such as epipens or inhalers. It could also be something more subtle such as the signs of distress in people with dementia. This knowledge may be vital in certain circumstances, so training minimises the risk of lacking that information or procedure.
Training as an investment
Ensuring your staff are appropriately trained shows that you value them and want to increase their skills and awareness. This builds on the trust and relations you have with your staff. Training is an often-overlooked investment. By equipping staff with knowledge they need, you are showing you place a high priority on their development.
