Statutory & mandatory training

Southport & Ormskirk statutory and mandatory training programme ensures the safety and well-being of all our staff and patients; it also helps you to keep up to date with professional standards. Our core statutory and mandatory training programmes are aligned to the Core Skills Framework

In addition, to take advantage of training, education and continuous development opportunities while you are at the Trust, you must be able to demonstrate that you have complied with your statutory and mandatory training requirements.  

Mandatory training starts on day one at S&O with your Corporate Induction. It consists of a series of short sessions supplemented with face-to-face training and readers. It includes:

• an introduction to the Trust’s values
• training in personal health, safety and well-being
• training in the health, safety and well-being of the people who use our services.

If you need any additional mandatory and statutory training, one of our training team will arrange this for you during your induction. 
 
From then on:

• your training needs will be identified in relation to your job role and staff group
• you can check your requirements using MyESR
• you can get training dates from the training department at Ormskirk

Training can be undertaken either by attending a face to face session held at the Southport or Ormskirk education centres on our "You Choose" programme or by completing your training online using ESR.
