The Care Certificate is a set of fifteen 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 additional resources and signposting for Standard 3. Before completing this module it is advisable to complete the module on Introduction to the Care Certificate which explains how to complete the assessments. In addition there are other i-learn modules which support the care certificate (see the Support Workers Category of courses for more information).

Study time: 15 minutes for this short module but Care Certificate Standard 3 will take additional time to complete. Also the building of your portfolio should be ongoing.
