Clean hands are the single most effective way to stop infections spreading in support work. This online hand hygiene course shows disability support workers and carers how to practise hand hygiene the right way, and how to help the people they support do the same.

It covers correct hand washing technique, alcohol-based sanitiser use, glove use, skin care, and the higher-risk situations workers face every shift, including toileting support, food preparation, and contact with body fluids.
