What do learners get if they finish the course?
Caring Counts in the Workplace badge
Completing the online quizzes in order to gain the Caring Counts in the Workplace badge is optional. However, we know that recognition for continuous professional development is important to learners. The Caring Counts in the Workplace badge shows that learners have gained an understanding of carers in the workplace, the Carer Positive, and the Core Principles for Working with Carers and Young Carers, and have achieved the learning outcomes listed within the course.
You can find out more about how to complete the quizzes and how to gain a badge in the introduction section of the course and on these pages:
- Badges and quizzes [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
- How to complete the course quizzes
- How your Caring Counts in the Workplace badge is issued.
If learners complete the quizzes successfully they will gain a digital badge for the course.
Reflection Log
Learners will be able to record their thoughts and plans for their future in their Reflection Log. This doesn’t have to be completed on a computer – it can be done on the downloaded document or simply with pen and paper.
This learning should help them to plan their next steps, particularly if the organisation is applying for the Carer Positive kitemark. Learners should finish the course with an action plan for this. If they are not doing the course for this reason, the Reflection Log will help them to reflect on their own practice in supporting carers.
