About this course
This course aims to introduce the topic of lone working in health and social care. The training defines what lone working is and outlines the legal requirements of both the employer and employee.
Assessment of risk is particularly important for lone workers and this training also incorporates dynamic risk assessment and teaches the learner what this is and how to carry it out.
Safety measures are covered where the learner is able to see how risk is managed and minimised in various work settings. Aftercare is also very important following any incident while lone working and the last module of this course deals with this topic.
This training is for staff working in settings such as Care Homes, Hospital Wards, Day Centres, or supporting an individual in their own home, where they are lone working and not directly supervised.
Guided Learning Hours: Approx. 1 hour, dependent on learner’s skills and abilities.

Level 3 AET was incredible. Loved it
"I loved the entire process as it was well supported with resources and templates. I enjoyed filling out the booklet and learning new things. The professional discussion with Zoe was the highlight of the program. It's just so good to talk to a fellow trainer outside of work and learn from each other. Highly recommend the course of level 3 AET!"
