Care Certificate

Certificate? – All new staff in these roles
Health Care Assistants, Assistant
Practitioners, Care Support Workers and

NHS where there is any direct contact with

caring volunteers, cooks or drivers that have
direct contact with service users could also
undertake all or some of the Care Certificate

first 12 weeks by those who are new to social
(and health) care
Registered Manager has responsibility for this
process as per current legislation. Can
delegate to others, but remains accountable.
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)
