Privacy and Dignity

About this course

This course covers Care Certificate Standard 7: Privacy and Dignity. It works through what privacy and dignity mean in everyday care, how to maintain them during personal care and everyday conversations, how to support someone's right to make their own choices, and what active participation looks like in practice. Five modules, seventeen lessons, around two hours, finishing with an assessment and a SupportiveBridge certificate.
