Training Matrix

About this document

What it’s for

A training framework and matrix for a small care service. It sets your required training for each role, records who has completed what and when refreshers are due, and evidences that staff are competent, as Regulation 18 requires. It covers the Care Certificate (now 16 standards), Care Workforce Pathway role categories and the Oliver McGowan Code of Practice.

When to use it

  • To plan induction for every new starter
  • As a live record, updated whenever training is completed
  • At supervision, in audits, and when CQC or commissioners ask for training data

  • Part 1 – Roles and induction
  • 1. Care Workforce Pathway role mapping

  • Part 2 – Required training schedule
  • Part 3 – Oliver McGowan training record
  • Part 4 – Training matrices
  • Matrix A – Core training
  • Matrix B – Further mandatory training
  • Matrix C – Specialist and service-specific training
  • Part 5 – Qualifications and development
  • Part 6 – Training compliance summary

How to complete it

  • Confirm the required training and refresher periods in Part 2 for your service
  • Map each role to a Care Workforce Pathway role category in Part 1
  • Enter dates completed in the matrices and highlight anything due or overdue
  • Keep certificates and competency assessments on personnel files

Key points to check

  • Refresher periods are good practice, not law – set and justify your own
  • Check the current Oliver McGowan Code, Care Certificate and Skills for Care guidance
