Duty of care and professional responsibility

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in duty of care and professional responsibility. It is for frontline workers in adult social care and healthcare settings. It helps identify learning needs and topics to discuss in supervision. It does not confirm competence. It does not replace training, observation, employer checks, professional judgement, or local policy. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager, supervisor, safeguarding lead, or relevant senior person before carrying out related tasks independently.
