Training Strategy

Case Study B – Training Strategy – Risk Analysis

Julia is the operations manager for a chain of 12 care homes that operate in Western Australia.

Due to a recent change in legislation, all staff now need to undergo extensive safeguarding training.

As head of operations, Julia is responsible for devising a strategy to roll out the training course.

Julia has contacted several companies that deliver the training and has selected one to provide the training at their training centres rather than on-site at the homes.

The company employs 352 staff in total over the 12 care homes.

The course will take three days, and the company will teach groups of a maximum of 22 people. There are 16 weeks until the new year.

Julia has told her employers that if they start the training program from the following week, they can have all their staff trained by January.

There will be one course each week, meaning 22 staff receive their training each week.

The company charges for each individual taking the course rather than each training session.

Julia then has to divide the staff into groups considering holidays and work commitments, but she is confident that this can be accommodated due to the number of courses being commissioned.
