Care Certificate Workbooks Change Log
June 2018 – All Workbooks reviewed
Due to the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) we’ve made some changes to the Care Certificate workbook. This is to ensure the workbook is compliant with GDPR and that the learner is aware of the recent changes. We’ve also taken the opportunity to update the wording in module 5 “Work in a person-centred way”. The wording has been changed to reflect person-centred practices across health and social care. The information included within the section, and its outcome, remain unchanged. All links within the workbook have also been checked and refreshed, ensuring that all information is relevant and up-to-date.
