Overview

Handling Information in a Care Setting

Handling Information in a Care Setting is designed to teach you why it is important to build trust with people in your care. If you’re a care worker, it is imperative that you handle personal and confidential information of people in your care efficiently and discreetly. This will lead to building trust and maintaining a trustworthy relationship. The course will introduce you to handling information appropriately, what happens in a breach, what that looks like and how this can lead to distrust of the care worker. You will learn how to avoid a breakdown of trust and maintain confidential information securely.

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.
