Recommended first move

Timing
The July announcement mentions September recruitment. Confirm actual induction dates and existing group training before proposing sessions.
Qualification questions
Who owns the relevant procurement or operational-readiness work at Eaglesham House as recruitment and opening preparations develop?
When will the relevant staff groups be recruited, and how will day and night teams attend?
Will the home’s assessment and evacuation procedures be available so training reflects the actual premises?
Has an internal or group training provider already been appointed, and what staff groups remain in scope?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a proposed session structure and options for staggered groups of up to ten.
Confirm a suitable training room; if practical extinguisher training is requested, confirm the required safe outdoor area and additional time.
Reasons to stop
The operator/contractor confirms the full relevant scope is committed and is not considering external support.
The operator’s existing training provider covers every relevant staff group, or staff/procedures will not be ready for a meaningful course.
