'Duty of Care’ involves the promotion of wellbeing – that is the positive way in which a person feels and thinks of themselves - and making sure that people are kept safe from harm, abuse, and injury. It therefore requires workers in health and social care to always act in the best interest of the people they care for, and their co-workers. It also requires them not to act, or fail to act, in a way that results in harm, to act within their competence, and to avoid taking on anything they do not believe they can safely do. 'Duty of Care' is part of the code of conduct for healthcare support workers, and adult social care workers in England, and is usually part of their job description. This course will enable the learner to understand the meaning of 'Duty of Care', and how to comply with its key components. This course covers: • Legislation impacting on Duty of Care • A definition of Duty of Care • Duty of Care to those receiving care, and support and to other workers • Following agreed ways of working • Passing on concerns • Supporting independence • Respecting the rights of individuals • Reporting incidents, errors and near misses • Dealing correctly with comments and complaints • Managing conflict

Having completed this course the learner will be able to carry out an effective health and safety risk assessment. Any person for whom responsibility for the health and safety of others forms part of their job description, needs to know how to carry out a risk assessment. To be given this responsibility without complementary training is daunting for the individual and almost certain to lead to errors and omissions when risk controls are decided. Completion of this course will ensure that such an individual possesses the key skills and knowledge necessary to enable them to carry out an effective risk assessment. Risk assessment is the keystone of effective health and safety management in any organisation, and failing to ensure the competence of individuals tasked with this activity is in contravention of health and safety law as well as being ethically suspect. By requiring staff with risk assessment responsibilities to complete this course, the organisation is meeting a key requirement in respect of the competence and confidence of such individuals. This eLearning provides awareness education. Face-to-face training, coaching, or supervision would be needed in addition in order to complete the all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation. By the end of this course you will be able to: • Understand what a hazard is • Describe the different types of workplace hazard • State what a hidden hazard is - hazards that may not be immediately obvious • Describe the risk assessment process • Understand what a risk is • Acknowledge risk control
