HOW SPECIALIST SUPPORT IS DELIVERED
Competence before deployment. Training certificates alone do not establish competence. Person-specific induction and practical competency assessment are required where the package demands it.
Assessment
Presenting need, risks, communication and outcomes.
Plan
Person-centred support and escalation arrangements.
Train
Core plus pathway-specific learning.
WORKFORCE
Specialist support starts with the right people
Safer recruitment
Identity, right to work, employment history, references, DBS and suitability checks.
Structured induction
Care Certificate principles, policies, shadowing and service expectations.
Specialist training
LD/autism, mental health, PBS, ABI and condition-specific modules as relevant.
Competency sign-off
Observation, discussion and practical assessment before unsupervised deployment.
