Document guidance
This document provides an overview of the outcomes and assessment criteria for Standard 1: Understand Your Role. It identifies the criteria within the Standard that
should have been achieved upon successful completion of the underpinning knowledge within the Care Certificate workbook. Employees must demonstrate their
competence in practice in order to fully achieve this Standard of the Care Certificate.
This progress log and sign-off document should be completed jointly by the employee and the manager/supervisor/assessor to confirm that all outcomes and criteria
have been achieved in practice in the work setting. Supplementary evidence can be attached to demonstrate achievement and it is suggested to do so as good practice.
This document also provides an outline of the suggested mapping of outcomes and criteria within Standard 1: Understand Your Role of the Care Certificate to the
recommended Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) unit, the National Minimum Training Standards for Healthcare Support Workers and Adult Social Care
Workers in England and the Common Induction Standards. This document does not necessarily indicate direct mapping of criteria and therefore assessors and/
or managers should ensure they follow the guidance below. Please note that when the term assessor is used throughout this document this could be the manager,
supervisor or assessor and will be decided by the employing organisation.
This document should always be used in conjunction with the guidance provided in the Care Certificate Framework Technical Document.
The Assessment method used column is included to allow assessors to provide evidence of the type of assessment method that has been used to assess the Care
Certificate criteria. This is likely to be noted as the Care Certificate Workbook; however further evidence could include professional discussion, observation, question
and answer, e-learning, witness testimony, etc. This column can also be completed to evidence competence using these example assessment methods.
The Evidence location column is included to provide a clear signpost to where the learners evidence can be found. This may be within a portfolio of evidence, a
continued professional development (CPD) file or electronically via e-learning or e-portfolio.
