Why is this online Care Certificate Standard 1 training course important?
Many regulations affect your role in health and social care. Regulations are rules that come from legislation or laws. The legislation establishes the general ‘laws of the land’. Regulations provide specific ways in which those laws are interpreted and applied.
The skills and knowledge you need to carry out your role competently, and how you should work are set out nationally. You can find these in:
- The Care Certificate is shared health and social care training. It is expected that new healthcare support workers and adult social care workers will complete the 15 standards before they work without supervision in any workplace.
- The Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers and Adult Social Care Workers in England. This has the moral and ethical standards expected of all health and social care workers.
