DLF's Trusted Assessor Training is accredited at Level II by the Open College Network.

There is a vast number of people who could live at home independently if they were provided with some basic equipment. This course is open to non-professional staff involved with independent living and trains them to assess, recommend and fit small aids to daily living (SADLs). This removes the workload from trained professionals, who are only consulted when the Trusted Assessor recognises that the situation needs a more advanced input.

This Trusted Assessor Training course provides training for community staff in the assessment, use and fitting of basic daily living equipment. The course includes presentations, discussion and practical demonstrations covering a number of areas including assessment and intervention, risk, issuing responsibilities and sessions on chairs, beds, rails, toilets, household items and bathing.

A short assignment will have to be completed to gain accreditation.

Delegates receive a comprehensive workbook.
