What the law says
In England, CQC's Regulation 9 (person-centred care) expects care to meet people's needs and reflect their preferences, and Regulation 18 expects staff to have the training they need for their role. For people living with dementia, that means staff who understand the condition and how it affects each person. Care regulators in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own standards, which also expect staff to be trained for the people they support.
This is awareness-level dementia training for care staff.
How we assess learning
Learning is assessed throughout the session, through case studies and questions.
Your trainer
Your trainer has used these skills for real, and runs the session as a discussion built around case studies — so staff see everyday care from the point of view of the person living with dementia.
Logistics
- Room: horseshoe or classroom seating — what matters is clear floor space — for up to 12, with a projector screen or blank wall
- The trainer brings: projector, laptop, flipchart and all general training equipment
- Group size: up to 12 per session, on-site or live online
- Timing: morning 09:30–12:30 or afternoon 13:30–16:30; staff arrive 15 minutes early
- Access: the trainer needs the room 45 minutes before the start
- Anywhere in the UK, or live online
- Live online: a quiet space and a device with camera and audio for each person joining — ideally one device each, and never more than two people per device
- More dates online: live online often has more dates available, so it's worth asking if you need training sooner or have people across several locations
- Literacy: we recommend at least Level 1 literacy and numeracy

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for staff new to dementia care?
Yes. It starts with what dementia is and the most common types, so it works for new starters — and experienced staff get the chance to reflect on their own practice.
Does it cover distress and changes in behaviour?
It looks at the factors that shape a person's experience of dementia, which helps staff understand distress and why behaviour changes. For practical de-escalation skills, ask us about our behaviour that challenges and de-escalation training.
Can it be done online?
Yes, live with a trainer, for up to 12 staff per session — not a recorded module. It's discussion-based, with case studies, so it works well online.
Why not e-learning?
E-learning can explain the types of dementia. Here, staff work through case studies with a trainer and ask about the people they actually support. For a full group of 12 it works out at around £41 a head.
How long does the certificate last?
Three years.
Can we train more than 12?
Yes. Run two sessions in one day for the same £495+VAT — up to 24 staff.
How quickly can you come?
We confirm bookings within 48 hours, and we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. If you need something sooner, just ask.
