An agreed national standard — not a sales pitch.
The Care Certificate sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of anyone starting in health and social care. It was developed by Skills for Care, Skills for Health and the NHS, and it's what employers, families and local authorities look for when deciding who to trust.
