The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and social care workers adhere to in their daily working life. Designed with the non-regulated workforce in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that workers have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support.

Who Should Undertake the Care Certificate?

Health Care Assistants, Assistant Practitioners, Care Support Workers and those giving support to clinical roles in the NHS where there is any direct contact with patients. Care Support Workers means Adult Social Care workers giving direct care in residential and nursing homes and hospices, home care workers and domiciliary care staff. These staff are referred to collectively as Healthcare Support Workers (HCSW)/ Adult Social Care Workers (ASCW) in this document. Other rolesmay be included where achievement of allof the standards is possible.As some of these roles would be very different in health and social care it is up to the employer to decide whether the Care Certificate is appropriate. However, to be awarded the Care Certificate the person must meet all of the outcomes and assessment requirements for all 15 standards.

The Care Certificate is the shared health and social care training, which must be completed and assessed, before new HCSW/ASCWs can practice without direct supervision. This may be done in a phased approach, as each HCSW/ASCW meets an individual standard their supervisor may allow them to practice with indirect or remote supervision against that standard.

The assessment of the Care Certificate should be as rigorous as the assessment of any formal qualification. Documentation of assessment and evidence of practice is the responsibility of the HCSW/ASCW and their employer. The evidence is to be recorded in the workbooks provided with this course. This document will be used in gathering evidence for the Care Certificate and in terms of portability can be used as evidence when changing roles or moving between employers.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
