Subject matter experts continue to review our courses on a periodic cycle and, whilst implementing their feedback, the team ensure the latest quality and consistency guidance is applied. We continue to bring our new design to the downloadable Course Resources PDF provided within our courses with a more subtle colour palette, appropriate font format and page layout to ensure enhanced accessibility.

The new design will help you:

We’ve updated this course to reflect the latest legal guidance and best practices. The two-stage capacity test has been reordered so the functional test is assessed before the diagnostic test. Terminology now matches Scottish legislation, replacing ‘mental capacity’ with ‘incapacity’ and ‘continuing attorney’ with ‘financial attorney,’ as recommended in the 2024 consultation. Assessment questions have been refreshed for better alignment, and a new Resources PDF offers useful links for deeper learning. You’ll also notice improved accessibility, easier navigation, and corrected spelling throughout. Released 9 December

We’ve updated this course to reflect the latest legal guidance and best practices. The Examples of Sharps section now covers scalpels, scissors, and other cutting blades. The Information and Training module uses clearer language to explain how Sharps Regulations support health and safety requirements. We removed vaccination references to focus on sharps handling and clarified that needle clippers without built-in containers need separate sharps bin disposal. The Using Your Sharps Bin section now provides step-by-step instructions for closing, locking, and labelling containers. Knowledge check questions have been revised with clear scenarios to reinforce correct techniques. These changes reflect expert feedback and ensure practical guidance for safe sharps handling. Released 17 December

We’ve improved this course to make it clearer, more accurate, and fully up to date. We replaced outdated or incorrect statistics with verified 2024/25 HSE data so learners get reliable insight into both fatal and non‑fatal incidents. We also clarified when the Work at Height Regulations apply, giving a more practical explanation to help learners understand real‑world situations. Sections of content have been refined to reflect how the course is applicable across different sectors. Released 29 January

We’ve strengthened this course by clarifying scenarios, correcting legal references and definitions, and improving how safeguarding actions are explained.
