About this course

Learning for the home-care setting

Skills Required for Care at Home Workers is a 30-minute course for domiciliary care staff, home care assistants and support workers. It considers person-centred practice in someone’s own home, alongside communication and support for daily living. The syllabus also includes lone working, professional boundaries and record keeping.

Learners beginning in the wider care sector can compare Preparing to Work in Care, which introduces care values, roles and professional standards. Care Planning provides separate learning about assessment, goals and reviewing support. The home-care course brings the focus back to the working environment and responsibilities of supporting a person at home.
