Overview

Statutory Duty of Candour - Level 3 - Online Course - CPDUK Accredited.

Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's online Statutory Duty of Candour training course for healthcare and social care professionals.

The Care Quality Commission’s ‘Regulation 20: Duty of candour’ sets out the requirements for health and social care providers across the UK. This regulation intends to ensure that providers are open and transparent with people who use services and other ‘relevant persons’ (people acting lawfully on their behalf) in general about care and treatment.

The professional duty of candour refers to openness and honesty when things go wrong within the health and social care services. It is a professional responsibility, to be honest with patients when things go wrong. As a doctor, nurse or midwife, allied health professional or health and social care support worker, it is imperative to be open and honest with your patients/service users, colleagues and employers.

It is known that in most cases, care is provided by multidisciplinary teams. Every team member is not expected to take responsibility for reporting adverse incidents and speaking to patients/service users if things go wrong.

However, someone from the team has to take responsibility for each of these tasks and to give support as needed. It should always be made clear whose responsibility it is to do so within the organisation or wider multidisciplinary team.

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.
