Course Overview
Small actions, real respect: dignity and privacy training online
Dignity and respect is one of the CQC fundamental standards. This dignity and privacy training online shows care staff what that looks like in practice. Think knocking before entering, covering people during personal care and using the name they prefer.
The course has seven short video modules. Each one needs a 70% pass mark. It also looks at your own wellbeing, as tired staff find it harder to give good care.
