Care Standards

The Care Standards Course is designed to equip individuals with the essential knowledge and skills required to provide safe, compassionate, and high-quality care in health and social care settings. Aligned with national care standards, the course covers key areas such as duty of care, safeguarding, communication, equality and diversity, infection control, and person-centred care. It is ideal for those new to the care sector, including healthcare assistants, support workers, home carers, and volunteers, as well as existing staff needing to refresh or formalise their training. Learners will develop a strong understanding of their responsibilities and the principles of maintaining dignity, respect, and safety for those they support. The course is accessible to individuals aged 16 and over, requires no formal qualifications, and may include practical assessments in a care setting depending on the provider. Upon completion, participants will be better prepared to meet professional standards and deliver effective, ethical care.
