Health and Safety at Work – Level 2

Location: Our Training Academy, West Hampstead
Delivery: Face-to-Face / Onsite (Same-Day Delivery)
Accreditation: CPD Certified

Course Overview

The Health and Safety at Work module is the cornerstone of professional care. In a home care environment, your “workplace” is someone else’s home, which presents unique and unpredictable hazards. This course equips you with the knowledge to identify risks, follow legal safety protocols, and ensure a secure environment for yourself, your colleagues, and your service users.

Delivered at our Ella’s Homecare, West Hampstead Cetre—the area’s only facility for specialised healthcare training—this session simplifies complex legislation into practical, actionable steps that keep everyone safe.

Training Efficiency & Logistics

We understand that compliance is vital, so we’ve made our training as accessible as possible:

• Same-Day Delivery: Get your health and safety certification in a single face-to-face session.
• 3 to 4 Courses Per Day: Many learners complete this module alongside Fire Safety, Infection Control, or Moving & Handling for a complete compliance day.
• Small Group Focus: We limit our intake to 10 learners per day. This allows our trainers to address the specific environmental challenges you face in your daily care routes.
