The Care Certificate is a set of 15 generic standards to support the practice of non-registered carers. Because of the generic nature of the standards it can be challenging to appreciate how they apply in maternity.

This module provides some additional resources and signposting for Standard 1. Before completing this module it is advisable to complete the module on Introduction to the Care Certificate which explains how to complete the assessments.

Study time: 15 minutes for this short module but Care Certificate Standard 1 will take additional time to complete.
