  • Working in a health and social care setting means looking after or supporting individuals who sometimes need extra help. When in this setting it is important to understand the mental capacity of the individuals in your care, often carried out through assessment, as this will help tailor their support. There are various reasons to why someone may lack mental capacity, and in the cases where this is lacking, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) looks to protect the person to ensure their liberty is not being deprived in their care arrangements.
  • This course contains several sections and covers a huge amount of material concerning Mental Capacity Assessment and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
  • These courses help to define mental health, look at the symptoms of some mental health issues and the impact they can have, as well as legislation and how to devise an action plan to promote mental well-being in the workplace for you and your employees. Both of these courses aim to improve your understanding of your own and your employees’ mental health and well-being, and how you can better promote workplace well-being through slight changes in day-to-day behaviour.

Having positive mental health in the workplace can lead to an increase in productivity and morale which can also have a good effect on your colleagues.
  • Misogynistic behaviour is sadly on the rise with research saying 64% of teachers in mixed-sex secondary schools hear sexist language in school on at least a weekly basis. A quarter (27%) of secondary school teachers say they would not feel confident tackling a sexist incident if they experienced or witnessed it in school.
  • This online Misogyny Awareness course provides you with the knowledge you need to identify and tackle misogynistic behaviour that might be experienced in the workplace.  Sexism and misogyny have damaging effects on women. It’s not just the mental burden of experiencing derogatory comments in-the-moment, but also the long-term impact it can have on their wellbeing, behaviours and life choices.
  • Modern slavery and trafficking are two of the most important safeguarding topics for anyone working with vulnerable children or adults. It is crucial that they have an in-depth knowledge of these areas and can spot the signs and symptoms of abuse. Human trafficking, human exploitation and modern slavery are alarmingly widespread issues in today's society. Statistics from Unseen show that there was a 35 per cent increase in the number of people identified as trafficking victims in the UK from 2016 to 2017, while 4,586 victims of modern slavery were reported to the Home Office in 2016 alone.
