Who is it for

Care workers play a key role in ensuring their residents/patients are treated
with a friendly and caring approach. Care workers have the ability to relate to
people from a variety of backgrounds. After an investigation from the Care
Quality Commission revealed that 424 out of 1,357 services in England are rated
’inadequate', the need for high quality trained care workers has never been
greater.
This qualification will help learners to understand their role in supporting
the preferences and needs of individuals in relation to their care or support,
the development and implementation of care plans and contributing to the review
of these by observing, monitoring and reporting on the care activities they're
responsible for.
