A digital framework for embedding consistent, neuro-smart, trauma-informed practice in supported accommodation and semi-independant settings.
SPARK Care™ Training Platform
Finding training that actually changes daily practice is a challenge across care settings.
Many teams complete courses, attend workshops and leave with good intentions but without a shared structure, practice quickly becomes inconsistent again.
The SPARK Care™ Training Platform was created to solve this problem.
It provides a clear, digital framework that supports consistent, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-informed practice across staff teams without reliance on live delivery, consultancy or external facilitation.
What the SPARK Care™ Training Platform Is
The SPARK Care™ Training Platform is an on-demand digital training and practice system designed for supported accommodation and semi-independent services.
It enables providers to:
-
train staff consistently
-
embed shared language across teams
-
support predictable, dignity-led responses
-
onboard new staff without restarting the process
The platform is built to fit the realities of care work - shift patterns, turnover, pressure and limited capacity.

Why a Platform-Based Model Works
Consistency in care does not come from one-off interventions.
It comes from:
-
shared language
-
predictable responses
-
clear expectations
-
accessible tools
A digital platform allows these elements to remain available, visible and repeatable even as staff change.
It is suitable for non-clinical staff teams and leadership roles.
