Legionella / Water Safety Awareness, start to finish.
This training helps you understand the risks of Legionella bacteria in water systems and how to keep residents and yourself safe. You will learn how to spot warning signs, follow the care setting's water safety procedures, and take the right action if you have concerns. This is the same module CareStream subscribers get, written for care settings rather than adapted from a generic course. It runs about 35 minutes and ends with a 20 question assessment.
- What is Legionella and Why Does it Matter
Legionella is a type of bacteria that lives in water.
- How Legionella Spreads in care settings
Legionella spreads when people breathe in small droplets of contaminated water, called aerosols.
- Recognising Legionnaires' Disease Symptoms
Legionnaires' disease symptoms usually appear 2 to 10 days after exposure to Legionella bacteria.
- Daily Water Safety Practices You Must Follow
You play an important role in water safety every day.
- Reporting Water Safety Concerns
Under our premises policy, you must report any fault or defect immediately.
- Special Considerations for Vulnerable Residents
Our residents are more vulnerable to Legionnaires' disease because of their age and existing health conditions.
What your team will be able to do.
- Explain what Legionella bacteria is and why it poses a risk in care settings
- Identify the conditions that allow Legionella to grow in water systems
- Describe the signs and symptoms of Legionnaires' disease
- Apply the care setting's water safety procedures in daily care tasks
- Recognise when to report water safety concerns and who to tell

What staff come away with
Legionella bacteria grows in warm water between 20 and 45 degrees, especially in water that sits still
People catch Legionnaires' disease by breathing in small water droplets containing Legionella, not by drinking water
Always run taps and showers for at least two minutes if they have not been used for several days
Report any water system faults, unusual smells, discolouration, or poor flow immediately to the duty manager and record in the maintenance log
Residents with weakened immune systems, lung conditions, or chronic illnesses are at higher risk and need extra vigilance
Legionnaires' disease symptoms include high fever, chills, cough, breathing difficulties, and confusion, seek urgent medical help if you see these signs

Before you buy.
How long does Legionella / Water Safety Awareness training take?
About 35 minutes, across 6 short lessons, followed by a 20 question assessment with a pass mark of 80%. Staff can stop and pick up where they left off.
What does the Legionella / Water Safety Awareness module cover?
6 lessons: What is Legionella and Why Does it Matter, How Legionella Spreads in care settings, Recognising Legionnaires' Disease Symptoms, Daily Water Safety Practices You Must Follow, Reporting Water Safety Concerns and Special Considerations for Vulnerable Residents. Each one pairs the teaching with a care scenario and a quick check.
How often do staff need to refresh Legionella / Water Safety Awareness?
CareStream sets this module so it renews every year. Staff and managers are reminded before a certificate lapses, so the refresher is booked before the gap appears.
Is Legionella / Water Safety Awareness completed fully online?
Yes. It is knowledge based, so staff complete the lessons and the assessment online and receive their certificate at the end. There is no practical sign-off.
Do I need a CareStream subscription to buy this?
No. This page exists precisely so you do not. You buy the licences you need, your staff complete the module in the CareStream hub, and that is the end of it. There is no trial to start, no card kept on file, and no subscription that begins quietly afterwards.
If you later decide you want the full platform, anything your staff have already completed carries across into your account.
What does one licence actually cover?
One licence covers one named member of staff for this one module, including the lesson, the assessment, any follow-up questions triggered by a wrong answer, and their certificate. Licences are not shared between people, because the completion record has to belong to an individual to be worth anything at inspection.
How quickly can staff start?
Immediately. The licences are on your account as soon as the payment clears, and staff get their invite the moment you add them. There is no onboarding call and no setup period.
Can staff complete it in another language?
Yes. Each staff member has a first language on their profile, and the lesson, the questions and the feedback all arrive in it. They answer in that language too. What you see as a manager stays in English, so the record reads the same whoever completed it.
What if someone fails the assessment?
Nothing is lost. A wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson on that specific point, and they retry it. The record shows the improvement from the first attempt to the latest, which is stronger evidence than a single pass mark, because it shows the gap was found and closed.
Can I buy for more than one service?
Yes. Buy the total number of licences you need and allocate them across your services when you add staff. If you are licensing for a group and want an invoice rather than a card payment, get in touch and we will raise one.
Licence any of these the same way.
Same price, same terms, no subscription needed.
