Winner of the 'Excellent Training' award at the 2018 Suffolk Care Awards - Christies Care Ltd

Recipient: Christies Care Ltd

Date: Thursday 04 Oct 2018

"This live-in care service recognises that having outstandingly-trained carers will improve its service to carers and clients and allow growth, despite competition.

Its induction programme takes place over 11 days and is closely linked to the Care Certificate. There is also a two-day dementia awareness course.

Because the organisation works across several local authorities and CCGs, there is an advantage of being able to tap into the developments in those areas and this is incorporated into training programmes.

The organisation has thought long and hard about the best way to deliver a package of training support that enables and empowers carers to work intensively with customers."
