Designed exclusively for those providing care within the domiciliary setting, this title introduces home carers to the broad range of service user needs that they are likely to support or deliver. In exploring these across a variety of service user groups, including mental health and disability, it aims to establish the importance of recognising difference and individual need and will help develop an understanding of the types of need. These can range from physical & emotional to those of dealing with finances and housing issues. It also introduces the range of differing communication methods and behaviours presented by service users, including confusion and raises awareness of medication and medical conditions. It goes on to consider how to respond to incidences of abuse and loss of life.

This e-learning training module aims to support re-orientation and re-skilling of staff directly involved in decision-making using Fair access to care services (FACS) and eligibility criteria, their supervisors and line managers, and those monitoring and reporting on the operations of the system. Sections cover the implications for practice of the revised FACS guidance; what FACS says about assessment, support planning, reviews and transitions; supporting carers; and the financial implications of FACS 2010, including resource allocation systems, personal budgets, and self-funding and charging. The module also includes a series of cases to test your assessment skills. [NB As of April 1 2015, this course has been de-listed and is no longer available. Fair access to care has now been wholly replaced by new practice and guidance described in the Care Act 2014].
