Show Notes

In our latest COVID-19 special podcast roundtable, sponsored by Smooth Digital, we discuss how the pandemic is affecting training and employment in care homes. Our guests are Steven Embleton from training experts My Learning Cloud, Toyah Marshall from HR and employment law firm Ellis Whittam and Alex Wilkins from training provider iHasco.

In this insightful podcast, chaired by Care Home Management's publishing editor Steve Hemsley, we discuss:

  • The continued need for training during the COVID-19 pandemic and what care home providers should be focusing on
  • The legal position for providers and staff if people are worried about coming into work during the crisis
  • Managing volunteers
  • Managing risk
  • Whistleblowing 
  • How to ensure staff are getting the most appropriate training around, for instance, mental health and infection prevention
  • Future recruitment trends

This is a must listen for any care home manager or owner concerned about how to ensure their employees' skills are up to date and they remain within the law.
