What is the Care Certificate Course?
The Care Certificate is an identified set of 16 standards developed by Health Education England, Skills for Care and Skills for Health to meet the recommendations of the Cavendish Review. It sets out the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of people working in health and social care, particularly those new to the sector or working in non-regulated roles.
The 16 standards help care workers develop the skills needed to provide safe, compassionate and high-quality care in their workplace. Individuals must complete all 16 standards to achieve the Care Certificate. The standards also help employers structure staff induction and ensure new workers understand their responsibilities and the expectations of their role.
