About this course

Further to completion of the Care Certificate course, this course is designed to support health and social care workers, who are new to lone working, to achieve minimum standards where more specialist skills are needed.

The course begins by defining lone working. It then sets out how to support individuals in their own home or in the community by relating the theory of the relevant care certificate standards to working practice. For example, ‘communication’ identifies useful methods – such as care plan records – to keep in touch with your colleagues regarding care provision, ‘health and safety’ also recognises systems – such as personal alarms – to keep you and others safe and ‘infection prevention and control’ explains the role and provision of personal protective equipment.

In module 2, the final stage of the course, we look at scenarios and strategies that will strengthen the knowledge through examples of experience. The scenarios support each standard relevant to caring for individuals as a lone worker.

Guided Learning Hours: up to 30 minutes, dependent on learner’s skills and abilities.
