Fire safety is an essential part of working in any care setting. In environments where residents may have mobility issues, sensory impairments, or cognitive conditions like dementia, understanding how to prevent, respond to, and manage fire hazards can mean the difference between life and death.
This course is designed to equip all staff members in a care environment—from care assistants to management—with the knowledge and awareness they need to identify risks, follow legal responsibilities, and react appropriately in the event of a fire.
