care assistants

There has just been a feature on the radio saying that there are many care assistants in residential homes, nursing homes and carrying out care in people's own homes who receive no training. This seems very poor especially when thinking about safeguarding and protection of vulnerable people. It also made me think about the health and safety of the employees including training in safer handing techniques. 
Employers would have much less sickness if they invested in effective training as their employees would know how to protect themselves form injury. 
Effective training would also raise morale and assist with retention of staff as they would feel valued.
