Observation Skills for Carers Training

Making sure we understand a situation by analysing what is happening, a person’s reaction and behaviour can raise concerns about someone’s safety. Candidates in the care sector are responsible for the more vulnerable that cannot defend themselves.

Candidates who complete this course will be more prepared to fulfil their duty of candour and their responsibility to accurately report any concerns that may arise.

Behaviour is everything a person says or does, so “analysis of behaviour” is the science that examines people’s actions to identify, explain and then predict their future behaviours. That is important as a person stuck in a pattern cannot notice it; therefore, they cannot break away from this pattern. You can report them by analysing their behaviour, to prevent more abuse.

It is important to keep records because you can notify other care professionals of any concerns you might have, so they can be informed and keep an eye out for any situations that might become troublesome in the future.
