The Care Certificate
The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and social care workers adhere to in their daily working life. The Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that these workers do possess verifiable skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary for the provision of compassionate, safe and high-quality care and support which every client expects and is entitled to.

Our Courses
The Care Skill Certificate
This is the basic expectation of any carer in the industry. It comprises the mandatory 15 standards of care. These standards are:
-
Understand your role
-
Your personal development
-
Duty of care
-
Equality and diversity
-
Work in a person centred way
-
Communication
-
Privacy and dignity
-
Fluids and nutrition
-
Awareness of mental health, dementia and learning disabilities
-
Safeguarding adults
-
Safeguarding children
-
Basic life support
-
Health and Safety
-
Handling information
-
Infection prevention and control
Each of these 15 standards will be assessed and only once an assessor is satisfied all 15 have been met will they award the certificate.
​
The Care Certificate follows a specific assessment framework, which lists all of the learning outcomes that must be achieved for each standard. For example, within standard one there are four objectives: understand their own role (learning objective 1.1), work in ways that have been agreed upon with their employer (1.2), understand working relationships in health and social care (1.3), and work in partnership with others (1.4). Each standard has its own set of objectives which you must meet.
​
The Care Certificate aims to address everything health and social care workers need to know to carry out their daily role through its 15 standards. It addresses inconsistencies in training so that those receiving care and support, and their families, can be confident that all staff have the same knowledge and skills to be able to deliver safe, high-quality, and compassionate care.
Qualification Aim
The Care Certificate is typically completed within two parts: the knowledge and theoretical components, and the practical assessment. To be awarded the Certificate, you will be assessed in your workplace and by a suitable assessor.
For the knowledge component, you will learn about the theory behind each standard. You will then be expected to explain what you have learnt, which may be through presentations, records of simulated activity, and written and oral answers to questions. These answers are typically recorded in a set of 15 booklets, with one for each standard.
For the practical aspect of the Care Certificate, you will be observed demonstrating what you have learnt. You may also be required to complete practical work, such as role-play, if a relevant situation doesn’t arise and you need to show that you can meet the standard.
