About this course

This Privacy & Dignity in Care training course is an effective way to learn how to provide personalised care to individuals while making sure that they remain in control of their own care plans where possible. You should help them to be independent where practicable while respecting their privacy & dignity.

In the Care Certificate, privacy is defined as ‘giving space to someone when & where they need it’ or ‘treating personal information confidentially’.

Dignity can be defined as ‘focusing on the value of every individual, including respecting their views, choices and decisions’, ‘not making assumptions about how they want to be treated’, ‘working with care and compassion’ ‘communicating directly with the individual whenever possible.’

Standard 7 of the Care Certificate – Privacy & Dignity – requires staff to:

  • Understand the principles that underpin privacy & dignity
  • Help individuals maintain privacy & dignity in care
  • Support individuals to make choices
  • Support them in making choices about their care
  • Understand & support active participation
  • Support individuals in active participation in their own care

This course works alongside our 14 other awareness courses that make up the Care Certificate Standards. ​

You can access our free worksheet that has been designed to accompany our online Privacy & Dignity in Care training course. In each section, there is a box for you to tick when you have watched the relevant slide in our course. You can also take notes that will help you during your practical assessment at work.

This course equips learners with the knowledge that’s required to be put into practice in the workplace. After completing the practical aspect of their training, management will award them the Care Certificate upon meeting standards. While the courses cover essential aspects, hands-on experience is vital for obtaining the certificate.
