Skills for Health and Skills for Care have been commissioned by the Department of Health to jointly convene a project to develop a code of conduct and standards which set out high-level proficiencies for the role and expectations around:
- healthcare support workers (reporting to registered nurses and midwives)
- adult social care workers (working in support of health and social care professionals, independently, for Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered residential care providers, or as domiciliary care workers in England)
A series of events across the country will be taking place across the country to provide people with an opportunity to provide their feedback on the draft standards and code of conduct.
