The Care Certificate

The Skills you need to carry out your role competently and the ways in which you should work are set out nationally.

Whistleblowing

Your employer should provide or explain their whistle blowing policy. you have a responcibility to report things that you fel are not right, are illegal, or if anyone at work is neglecting their duties.

This is known as 'Whistleblowing'.

In most cases you should discuss your concerns with your manage. however, if you felt that it was not appropriate to speak to your manager for some reason, you should follow your employers whistleblowing procedure and ways of working.

For example, in providing care and support to an individual, their carer may provide support by visiting or providing food. you should be helpful and make sure that this is built into the careplan and routine, and is understood by other workers. you might also support the individual to share their wishes with the carer.

Other workers might provide a service to someone you provide care and support to. For example, a dietitian might advise the individual about their weight and help them agree a plan for their meals and snacks, taking into account any preferences or dietary needs. as the worker likely to see the individual most regularly you could encourage them to keep the diet and support them to feed back how the diet is wrong or if it needs to be changed.

You role will involve you working with many people who have a variety of roles. This is known as 'partnership working'. developing good relationships will help improve the quality of care provided.

The main working relationships in health and social care can be categorized in four ways:

Individuals and their friends and family.

Your collegues and managers.

Peope from other work places including 'advocates'.

Volunteers and community groups

Effective partnerip working

Good communication between everyone is essential. health and social care workers must trust, value and respect one another, having belief in everyones ability to work together to achieve shared goals

All working relationships should involve mutual respect and should value other peoples skills and knowledge with a focus on working together in the best intrests of the individual receiving care and support. the importance of people working together should not be underestimate as serious case reviews, which are the reviews carried out when a vulnerable adult dies or come to significant harm, ofte identify failings in partnership working as being a key factor in what went wrong.

If the individual was not eating or unwell as a result of this would arrange for the diet to be reviewed quickly. Very often health care support workers or adult social care workers are in a position to play an importaint role in making observations and links with other workers because they are in regular contact with the individual. Tey are very importaint partners in the overall health or social care provision to an individual.

Communication

Effective communication is central to a successful workplace for both individuals and staff alike.

For communication to be good and effective it must be open, accurate and understandable. Ways of communicating and language must be right for the individual so you can be sure that they understand what is being said. workers should avoid using jargon which can be misunderstood.

Section Two

Experiences, Attitude and belief

Regular supervisions are important to any job so concerns can be addressed, progress checked and additional support arranged. Whether your work is in one location or within the community, your employer should ensure that you have regular supervision opportunities

An appraisal is a one-to-one meeting, usually once a year, between you and your manager which reviews how well you are working and making progress. Your manager will support you to plan your next steps and update your PDP

When you are carrying out your work activities, you will be supervised by a more senior member of staff. Supervision is a term which is also used to refer to more formal sessions with your manager or supervisor which are an opportunity to discuss your performance and development. Supervision sessions are a regular opportunity to talk through any part of your work, your role or about the individuals you provide care and support for. Your supervision might take place one-to-one with your manager or in a group or team meeting. Sessions take place at a time and frequency agreed with your manager and should be recorded.

Supervision and appraisal

The most important person involved in your PDP is you; however, your manager, other workers and the people you provide care and support for will all play a part.

In order to agree your PDP you need to ask yourself questions such as:

What do I want to achieve?

What are the standards, skills and knowledge needed by my current role and do I have any gaps? What are the learning and development opportunities in my current role?

What are my ambitions and goals?

Am I making the right choices to get me there?

For those new to health and social care, the Care Certificate is the beginning of your learning and will usually form part of your induction. All good employers will want to develop their workers further over time. This development plan might be agreed during your induction period or during a review at a later point. The majority of PDPs cover a 12-month period. You will agree with your employer how long it will take you to complete the Care Certificate. Your employer knows exactly what they expect from a worker and will help you set targets and find the learning you need. As you continue to work in health and social care it is important that you develop your skills and abilities. This may involve further training, specialist courses and qualifications.

.

A personal development plan (PDP) is an action plan that helps you get organised, identifies learning and development needs to help you do your job better or help in your career, and then tracks progress.

Personal development happens throughout your life. At work, it starts with agreeing your aims and objectives and thinking about your strengths and development needs. You then set goals so that you can meet your objectives and make the most of your talent
