Empowering Care Teams Through Expert, Compliant Training

At Berwick Care, we believe that great care starts with confident, knowledgeable staff. Our care home staff training programmes are designed to help your team stay compliant, improve daily practices, and deliver exceptional outcomes for residents.

With in-depth modules covering everything from COSHH training for care homes to specialist seating assessments, our training ensures that every member of your team has the skills, awareness and confidence to work safely and effectively. Whether you’re onboarding new staff or refreshing existing knowledge, the Berwick training programme provides practical, accessible learning that supports compliance and enhances care quality.

Our Key Training Programmes

COSHH Awareness

Our COSHH training for care homes helps ensure that every staff member understands the health and safety implications of working with cleaning chemicals and hazardous substances. Participants learn how to read safety data sheets, store and handle products correctly, and implement control measures to keep both residents and colleagues safe. This training meets all regulatory requirements and is essential for compliance under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations

Incontinence Training and Assessments

Our incontinence training provides your staff with the knowledge and practical tools to deliver the best possible continence care. We cover product selection, fitting and disposal, as well as strategies for maintaining dignity and comfort for residents. Through tailored assessments, staff learn how to identify individual needs and choose the right solutions for each case, improving wellbeing and reducing the risk of complications.

Equipment Training and Assessments

We offer care equipment training on every product within our range, ensuring that your team knows how to use, clean and maintain essential equipment safely. From hoists and profiling beds to wheelchairs and moving aids, our sessions reduce the risk of misuse or injury and help extend product lifespan. Training can also include site-specific assessments, helping staff understand how to integrate equipment use into their daily routines effectively.

Product Selection and Application

This module helps staff make informed decisions about which products best meet the needs of your care home. We explore how to select the most appropriate cleaning agents, hygiene consumables or equipment based on resident requirements, budgets and environmental considerations. By improving product knowledge and application, teams can reduce waste, improve results and achieve higher overall efficiency.

Specialist Seating Assessments

Our specialist seating assessments focus on meeting the postural and pressure care requirements of residents with higher levels of need. Delivered by trained assessors, these sessions help staff understand positioning, pressure mapping and how to match seating solutions to individual mobility or health conditions. Proper seating assessment reduces discomfort and helps prevent pressure injuries, improving long-term quality of life for residents.

Problem-Solving Training

Every care environment faces day-to-day challenges from malodours and damaged clothing to ongoing continence management issues.

Our problem-solving training offers a bespoke approach, working directly with your team to identify specific concerns and deliver tailored solutions. The result is a more proactive, confident workforce equipped to handle real-world situations with efficiency and care.
