This article reports on a study, commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation, looking at the training needs of non-professionally qualified and non-specialist staff who care for older people with mental health needs. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 49 care staff and their managers. Their roles included home care workers, residential and day centre workers, and healthcare assistants. The study explored the specific skills, knowledge and understanding that staff need, and any contextual factors that would maximise the effectiveness and sustainability of any training provided, including management and institutional factors. As well as identifying training needs, preferred types of training and barriers to accessing training are identified.
