Key points…

15 standards in all - signed off and quality assured by Registered Manager

Undertaken in social (and health) care within first 12 weeks by those who are new to social (and health) care

Registered Manager has responsibility for this process as per current legislation but can still delegate this to others, as long as liaise with others and oversee process

Key points…

The knowledge part of the Care Certificate can be delivered by a range of learning methods, e.g. e-learning, distance learning, taught sessions, and by external or ‘in house’ learning providers

Competency statements have to be assessed in the work place (by an occupationally competent person in social (or health) care for the ‘demonstrate’, ‘show’, ‘take steps to’…statements)

Key points…

Standard 11 and 12 will vary depending on whether worker is in a social care or health setting

There are a few (very few) competencies that are allowed to be simulated

Workers need to complete a workbook or build portfolio of evidence. This belongs to them and is thus transferable between employers
