Course content
This training is designed to support in-house trainers in the delivery of ARC’s training pack for front line care staff.

The cost of the training includes everything you need to deliver a one-day course which highlights the key principles of MCA/DoLS and their application in everyday practice, including:

  • A detailed training pack including PowerPoint slides, handouts and additional resources via email.

As a trainer, CQC says that your staff need to be:

  • Fully trained with a comprehensive understanding of MCA/DoLS
  • Confident about using the MCA
  • Using innovative ways to involve people in decisions about their care, making best interest decisions in line with legislation and people’s wishes

At the end of this workshop for trainers you will have:

  • Knowledge of relevant standards and guidance in relation to staff training.
  • Detailed knowledge of the training pack and its delivery.
  • Understanding of what care staff need to know about the Mental Capacity Act (MCA),  Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and the Code of Practice.
  • Understanding of how the MCA/DoLS work with other relevant legislation
  • Knowledge of where to access further sources of advice and support in relation to the MCA/DoLS.

Virtual modules are on the Zoom Pro platform with our experienced trainer Rod Landman, who has over 20 years experience in adult social care.  The virtual sessions are highly interactive and comprise trainer input, discussions, case studies, small group work and reflections on assignments.

Learners will receive a full suite of handouts in advance to guide their learning.

On completion learners will be issued with an ARC Certificate of Attendance
