Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, employers may now be liable when workers experience harassment from third parties unless they can show they took all reasonable steps to prevent it.

In health and social care, third parties can include:

✓ Patients and residents
✓ Relatives and visitors
✓ Contractors and consultants
✓ Other members of the public

Acas states that reasonable steps could include risk assessments, clear policies, staff training, incident recording and effective reporting.

Our CPD-accredited Third-Party Harassment Training helps health and social care teams understand the changes and prepare for their responsibilities.

Children don’t always know how to tell us when they’re struggling. Distress might be shown through changes in behaviour, mood, concentration or physical wellbeing — knowing how to respond calmly and appropriately can make all the difference.

Our blog, Supporting a Distressed Child: An Introduction to Psychological First Aid, explores how professionals can provide compassionate, practical support when a child really needs it.

Our online Psychological First Aid Training: Supporting Children and Young People course will help you build the knowledge and confidence to recognise distress, communicate appropriately and understand when you may have to get further support.

This year’s theme is “Safe care for life!”

WHO reports that 1 in 10 patients around the world experiences harm while receiving healthcare – and around half of this harm is assumed to be preventable.

Patient safety depends on knowledgeable, confident teams who understand risk, the importance of good communication, human factors, incident reporting and why a positive safety culture should be encouraged.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce our NEW Essentials for Patient Safety online course.

Designed for health and social care professionals, it uses real-life case studies to help teams understand how they can contribute to safer, higher-quality care.
