\"Autism<\/a>The government introduced a new requirement which came into effect as of the 1st of July 2022, this meant all health and social care providers must ensure their staff are fully trained on how to interact appropriately with people who are autistic and those who have a learning disability. You will need this training if you are registered with the CQC.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many of us know that the CQC\u00a0conduct inspections to see if staff are working with people appropriately and whether\u00a0training supports and\u00a0complements how staff care, communicate, and treat people\u00a0in the workplace or the home. This means the CQC will include as part of their\u00a0inspection\u00a0the reviewal of staff training in autism and learning disability\u00a0and whether\u00a0providers have assessed the competencies of their staff in these\u00a0subjects.<\/em><\/p>\n

The government will consult and publish\u00a0a Code of Practice, which is designed to outline the content, delivery,\u00a0monitoring and evaluation of Mandatory\u00a0Training. The CQC anticipate that the government\u00a0will take at least 12 months to publish the Code of Practice. Until then, the CQC\u00a0will continue to\u00a0provide statutory guidance to keep us all informed.<\/em><\/p>\n

The CQC have updated their statutory\u00a0guidance to reflect these changes, and this can be accessed by clicking\u00a0the following link\u00a0<\/em>www.cqc.org.uk<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

ProTrainings offer video online and classroom autism<\/a> and learning disability training<\/a> nationwide, so please contact us if this is required in your workplace on 01206 805359 or support@protrainings.uk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
