Training resets and refresher frequency

Why progress resets, how often, and what happens to staff.

Training doesn't last forever. Martyn's Law expects staff to be refreshed regularly, and PROVA handles that automatically.

How often

Each site has a training frequency set from its assessment, typically annual, sometimes more often for higher-rated sites. Your Premises Controller can see it on the site's Staff page.

What happens at a reset

When the period ends, everyone's progress for that site returns to zero and the videos need watching again. Staff receive an email telling them their refresher is due, and the Premises Controller is notified.

If your progress disappeared

That's a reset, not a fault. Your previous completion is kept in the site's records; the fresh run is what's needed now.

Changes to a plan

If a plan is republished with significant changes, the related video may need re-acknowledging before the next reset, so staff are working from the current procedure.

Chasing stragglers

The Premises Controller sees who's completed and who hasn't. Reminders go out automatically to anyone who hasn't finished before the due date.
