We at Tiwani Services Ltd we are proud to train our carers, individuals or organisations
carers Mandatory training and refresher courses. For experienced care staff, this will
mean updating their knowledge and skill set, with the new terminology and practices
as appropriate. All new staff, having never worked in social care before, we train them
in all 15 standards before we award them Certificates.

staff following statutory requirements. Statutory requirements include the Health and
Safety at Work Act, local authority requirements, and the requirements specified by
the Care Quality Commission.

Safety Awareness training, including Fire Safety. Moving and Handling training is also
mandatory and if staff are involved with preparing food or assisting at meal times
then Food Safety and Hygiene training will also be mandatory.
