2If things go wrong
Section 1
Within the care industry it’s not just the people you care for, but also the people you work with – your colleagues – and anyone else who may be affected by something you do or don’t do. In this section we’ll be looking at your duty of care obligations, agreed ways of working, the Mental Capacity Act and building a relationship of trust.
Section 2
It’s essential that everyone follows the standards from the code of conduct. By doing so the people who use health and social care services, the public and others are protected from harm. And all carers must aim to provide high-quality care to the best of their ability, but even with the best planning and the best will in the world, things can still go wrong…
About this course
Our Duty of Care Awareness Training explains the need to promote wellbeing and make sure that people in Care are kept safe for harm, abuse and injury.
The duty of care is a legal requirement and comes with the job role for any Care worker. It is part of the code of conduct for healthcare support workers and adult social care workers in England and applies as soon as someone receives treatment or care. Employees also have a duty of care to other workers.
Standard 3 of the Care Certificate – Duty of Care – requires staff to:
- Understand how a duty of care contributes to a safe practice
- Understand what support is available to address issues regarding the duty of care
- Deal with comments or complaints
- Deal with incidents, near misses or errors
- How to deal with difficult situations and confrontations
This course works alongside our 14 other awareness courses that make up the Care Certificate.
You can access our free worksheet that has been designed to accompany our online Duty of Care Awareness Training course. In each section, there is a box for you to
tick when you have watched the relevant slide in our course. You can also take notes that will help you during your practical assessment at work.
This course equips learners with the knowledge that’s required to be put into practice in the workplace, whereby they can do the ‘practical’ part of their training, followed by having the Care Certificate supplied to them by their management as they meet the required standards. These courses provide part of training but practical training is still required to obtain the care certificate.

Why is duty of care important in healthcare?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Duty of Care Training is one of the 15 standards that are in the Care Certificate. The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that set out what is expected of the job roles in the health and social care sector. It forms part of an induction programme that should be covered if you are ‘new to care’. Our courses are used as an educational tool to help provide an understanding and awareness of each standard. Learn more about our Care Certificate eLearning package here.
The Care Certificate was developed by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health.
