In March 2021, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which regulates social care in England, published updated guidance for providers about the duty of candour. The duty of candour places a legal requirement for certain steps to be taken if something happens to a person you are supporting that causes them moderate or severe harm.

 
This course will help you to understand these definitions and what you need to do to comply with the duty of candour legislation, including the recent CQC updates. It is suitable for people working at any level in social care.
