The same AI and technology behind the world's best products powers CareStream, so your team's slips, trips and falls training stays accurate, always up to date with the latest guidance, and is delivered in over 60 languages.
Understanding Falls Risk in Our Home
Every resident has a falls risk assessment completed when they move in. This assessment looks at their history of falls, medical conditions, mobility needs, footwear, and any fears about falling. The assessment is recorded in their care plan. You must read each resident's care plan to understand their specific fall risks and how to support them safely.
What information is included in a resident's falls risk assessment?
The correct answer is “History of falls, medical risk factors, mobility needs, footwear, psychological factors and environmental hazards”. In the full module, a wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson and a fresh question, so the gap is always closed before completion.
That is how the training works. Give your whole team the full Slips, Trips and Falls module.

What Your Team Will Learn
A closer look at the slips, trips and falls module.
The module is built in short, practical sections. Each one teaches a part of the topic, then applies it to a real care scenario and checks understanding before moving on.
Understanding Falls Risk in the care setting
Every resident has a falls risk assessment completed when they move in. This assessment looks at their history of falls, medical conditions, mobility needs, footwear, and any fears about falling. The assessment is recorded in their care plan. You must read each resident's care plan to understand their specific fall risks and how to support them safely.
Environmental Hazards and Daily Checks
Many falls happen because of environmental hazards like wet floors, poor lighting, clutter, or loose rugs. You must check the environment regularly throughout your shift. Look for spills, objects left on floors, trailing cables, and poor lighting. Report and fix hazards immediately. An occupational therapist may assess the environment for residents at high risk of falls.
Supporting Mobility and Using Aids Correctly
Residents at risk of falling may need mobility aids like walking frames or sticks. They must have aids that are up to date and fitted correctly. You must ensure residents know how to use their aids properly. Some residents need staff to accompany them when moving around. Always follow the individual care plan about when and how to provide mobility support.
Footwear and Personal Care
Poor footwear causes many falls. Slippers that are too loose, shoes with slippery soles, or walking in socks all increase fall risk. Residents must have adequate, well fitted footwear including slippers. Check that footwear fits properly and is not worn out. Help residents put on appropriate footwear before they get out of bed or move around. Bathroom slips are very common because water makes surfaces slippery.
Preventing Falls During Transfers and Personal Care
Many falls happen during transfers like getting in and out of bed, chairs, or the bath. Residents must not get up from chairs too quickly as this can cause dizziness. Where necessary, residents must have help getting out of the bath. Always follow the care plan for transfer support. Use proper moving and handling techniques. Never rush a resident or let them rush themselves.
Falls Prevention on Day Trips and Outings
Falls can happen outside the care setting too. When planning day trips, staff must carry out a risk assessment. This includes checking physical access at the destination, availability of disabled toilets, getting around safely, and any rest areas needed. Staff must contact the destination to discuss access arrangements. Appropriate transport must be arranged. Escorts must know the residents' care needs including mobility support requirements.

Learning: what to read first

Built for real learning, not box ticking
Every CareStream course goes further than a lesson and a quiz. These features come as standard on every course, giving your staff a richer way to learn and giving you the evidence to prove it.
References and further reading
Every course is built on recognised UK guidance and cites its sources, from NICE and Skills for Care to the NHS and the legislation itself.
Key terms explained
A plain English glossary of the technical terms in each course. A simple way to support every learner, including staff with English as a second language.
Measured learning gain
A quick knowledge check before the lesson is compared with the final assessment, so every certificate comes with evidence of how much the course actually taught.
Reflective practice
After passing, staff record what they will do differently in their day to day work. Their reflection is saved to their training record and shown with their certificate.
A course summary to keep
A printable one page takeaway of the outcomes, key points and key terms. Perfect for staff files, supervision conversations and the staff room wall.
Observed competency checklist
A printable checklist for managers to confirm skills in practice, with a sign off section. It completes the picture beyond the knowledge assessment.
Wrong answers become lessons, not failures
Most e learning marks an answer wrong and moves on. CareStream does not. Every wrong answer triggers an automatic follow up loop that teaches the point again and rechecks it, so no knowledge gap is left behind.
Instant lesson and feedback
A wrong answer immediately opens a short lesson explaining the point, so the gap is closed there and then.
Targeted follow up question
A fresh question on the same point checks the lesson has landed. The loop repeats until it has.
Progress only when understood
Staff move on to the next module and their certificate once they genuinely know the answer, not just after one lucky guess.
