Occupational therapy-informed, non-clinical training
for care and support providers across the lifespan

Structured, safe, behaviour-change focused programmes that help teams move from task-based routines to genuine enabling practice.

We work with adult services, children's services, education settings, and early help teams.

Explore programmes Talk to us first

Our programmes are occupational therapy-informed, non-clinical, and behaviour-change focused. We design for lasting change in everyday practice — not just awareness on the training day. Every programme gives teams consistent tools, shared language, and documentation approaches they can use from the next shift.

Who this is for

Our programmes are designed for registered providers and services that want to raise the quality of everyday practice — without the cost or clinical overhead of individual occupational therapy referrals.

Care and support managers

Looking to bring structure and depth to your team's approach — moving beyond task lists towards genuine enabling practice.

Operations and quality leads

Seeking consistent practice standards across multiple services or regional teams, with something you can evidence.

Training leads

Adding structured, occupational therapy-informed (OT-informed) content to your training calendar without commissioning individual OT services.

Education and early help teams

Wanting staff to understand sensory and participation needs in children and young people — and respond with confidence.

How it works

Three straightforward steps from first enquiry to training day.

1

Book a call

We talk through your team's current practice, what you want to change, and which programme fits best. No obligation, no sales pressure.

2

We plan your training

We confirm the date, delegate numbers, and any context-specific adjustments — then send a simple booking confirmation by email.

3

Your team is trained

Your team receives a structured, engaging training day — including workbooks, CPD certificates, and a post-training practice review built into every programme.

What teams can expect when they adopt structured, occupational therapy-informed reablement approaches

These reflect what providers typically experience when structured approaches are embedded in practice — drawn from published evidence on occupational therapy-informed (OT-informed) methods rather than Occara's own client outcomes.

Built to professional standards

HCPC boundaries

Safely within HCPC boundaries

All content is non-clinical by design — drawing on occupational therapy knowledge and frameworks without crossing into regulated professional territory.

CQC & SEND

Supports providers to evidence CQC quality statements and SEND good-practice principles

Our materials are structured to help providers evidence quality statements and SEND good-practice principles — without overclaiming formal alignment.
