This Legionella Training programme increases awareness of the dangers of legionella bacteria.
Highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring of systems where they may be found, it is designed to help everyone understand the risks of exposure to legionella bacteria. The course is particularly useful for those who are responsible for protecting an organisation from this kind of bacterial contamination; particularly people who manage, control or monitor the risk of exposure (as well as those responsible for record keeping.)
The course looks
at what legionella bacteria are and where
they can be found, as well as how legionella spreads and
how these bacteria can affect health – concentrating
particularly on Legionnaires’ disease and the symptoms to look
out for.
Although
Legionnaire’s disease is usually easily treated with antibiotics, it can lead
to long term health problems and even death. Between 2011 and
2013, 84 people in the UK died from harmful Legionella bacteria.
Make sure you and your colleagues know what to look out for and learn how to
protect your organisation from Legionella bacteria with our online Legionella
Awareness Training course.

Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults (SOVA) is a course for anyone who works with, helps, or supports adults at risk.
It covers the signs of abuse and explains what to do if you suspect something is happening to a vulnerable adult. It’s all about sensitive handling and timely intervention, protecting vulnerable adults and keeping them safe from harm. Safeguarding is not something that is carried out in seclusion, and this training highlights the importance of all the relevant services working together in a ‘partnership of care’. It also highlights the importance of the individual – a ‘person-centred’ approach.
The training explains the seven major forms of abuse and gives step-by-step guidance to deal with abuse; including raising an alert, making a referral and what to include in a written report. It’s essential to act quickly if you think abuse may be happening – the quicker it’s spotted, the quicker something can be done about it.
The Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults (SOVA) Training course is broken down
into 3 sections.
- What is safeguarding and who needs it? – Safeguarding is about improving a person’s welfare and keeping them safe from harm. In this section we ask WHO is at risk? We look at the legal framework, the principles of Safeguarding and The Mental Capacity Act and what should be included in a safeguarding policy.
- What is abuse? The forms of abuse –This section looks at what constitutes abuse. It looks at the tell-tale signs that abuse might be happening, so you know what to look out for. Abuse in vulnerable adults can be in the form of:
- physical abuse
- emotional abuse
- sexual abuse
- neglect
- financial abuse
- discriminatory abuse
- institutional abuse
- Dealing with Abuse – Dealing with abuse and reporting abuse can be upsetting and should be handled sensitively. It’s important to ACT and it’s crucial to act QUICKLY. In this section we give step by step guidance explaining what to do if you think abuse might be taking place or if someone makes a disclosure to you. We look at raising an alert, making a referral and what should be included in a written report.

This training course raises awareness of ill-mental health, particularly stress, depression and anxiety.
It provides tools and guidance for daily well-being-management and aims to remove the stigma surrounding mental health.
Mental Health is a serious subject. Nearly two-thirds of people say that they have experienced a mental health problem and evidence suggests that poor mental health is responsible for almost 13% of all sickness absence days in the UK. One
of the biggest challenges with poor mental health is removing the stigma
that surrounds it. Many don’t hesitate to seek help for a physical
pain or problem, yet so many of us ignore emotional and mental health
issues – or we feel too embarrassed, confused or scared to talk about
them. This Mental Health Awareness Training discusses mental health the
way you would a headache or the flu, and it encourages you to take care of
yourself as you would a loved one.
This course raises awareness, it explains how to approach mental health and remove stigma; and it also provides simple tools, tips and ideas for day-to-day wellbeing-management (for yourself and others).
Happy
staff and volunteers equal healthier, more productive and more successful
organisation. Put simply, good mental health is a win-win for everyone.
The Mental Health Awareness
Training course is broken down into 4 sections.
- Mental Health Awareness
- Mental Health Problems
- Wellbeing Toolkit
- External Help
