The Care Certificate is aimed at all new staff to the Health and Social Care sector and is usually completed within the first 12 weeks of their new role. To support care providers in our county, we have developed an innovative programme aimed at supporting not just staff new to the Health and Social Care sector but also to those in senior positions that are assessing the Care Certificate.
