Regulation 18 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 is a critical legal framework governing staffing levels, training, and competency in health and social care settings. Ensuring compliance with Regulation 18 is essential for maintaining a safe, well-trained workforce and delivering high-quality care. This course provides comprehensive training for care managers on meeting CQC requirements, workforce planning, and implementing training strategies. It covers the legal duties surrounding staff recruitment, supervision, professional development, and contingency planning, ensuring that care providers have sufficient, qualified, and competent staff at all times. Care managers must ensure continuous staff training, competency assessments, and workforce monitoring to prevent staffing shortages, legal breaches, and enforcement actions. Failure to comply with Regulation 18 can result in CQC penalties, reputational damage, and compromised care standards. By completing this course, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to manage staffing levels effectively, ensure compliance with CQC inspections, and create a robust workforce development strategy. This course is ideal for care managers, HR professionals, compliance officers, and senior care staff responsible for staffing, training, and regulatory compliance in care settings.
