Care Certificate Training Package

New Standards, New Care Certificate Training Package.

What Are the Care Certificate Standards?

The Care Certificate training standards offer a structured approach for new staff in health and adult social care. These standards are not accredited but serve as a guide for minimum training, supervision, and assessment. Their goal is to ensure that new care workers are ready to provide compassionate and high-quality care.
Although completing all the standards is necessary for recognition, they don’t replace the accredited Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate. This qualification gives care workers a recognised certification in the field.

Care Certificate Training Standards in 2025

Key Changes to Care Certificate Training

There are now 16 standards in the Care Certificate, with the addition of a new standard focusing on learning disabilities and autism awareness. Six existing standards have been updated, reformatted, or enhanced in terms of content. These changes will require updates to your current training materials to ensure they align with the new guidelines. However, two standards, Safeguarding Children (Standard 11) and Basic Life Support (Standard 12), remain unchanged.

New Standard on Learning Disability and Autism

A brand new standard, Standard 16: Awareness of Learning Disability and Autism, has been added. This standard includes the content previously found in Standard 9, with a focus on autism and learning disabilities. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is now recommended for ensuring care workers have the right knowledge to provide safe, compassionate care to people with autism and learning disabilities.
