This guide presents the 10 common core principles to support good mental health and wellbeing in any social care settings. They provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. They aim to build workers’ confidence by identifying good practice underpinned by indicative behaviours. The principles themselves were developed following a literature search and extensive consultation with people who need care and support and their carers. They were also tested with social care employers to ensure they were fit for purpose. The guide includes additional useful resources and further reading. (Edited publisher abstract)

This document, which includes the mental health contextualised standards, is designed to be used in addition to, and to enhance, current Care Certificate delivery and resources. The Care Certificate was introduced in 2015 to ensure that all social care and healthcare workers have the knowledge, skills and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support. Some of the standards have been contextualised to different working situations or services to help new workers, or workers new to a particular area of care, to apply the content to their specific roles. The Care Certificate has been contextualised in six areas: autism; dementia; end of life care; learning disability; lone working; mental health. (Edited publisher abstract)

The Framework was commissioned by the Department of Health, and aims to support consistent mental health education and training across a variety of service settings, providing opportunities for joint education and training.

It covers 18 subject areas, which include: promoting wellbeing, establishing positive relationships, understanding prevention, recovery focused approaches, and using technology to deliver effective support. Each subject area include details of the target audience, learning outcomes, and links to relevant guidance, legislation and National Occupational Standards.

A draft education and training framework, commissioned by the Department of Health, which sets out the core skills and knowledge which the health and care workforce need to apply in order to deliver quality mental health services. It aims to describe common skills and knowledge that are transferable across different types of service provision. Specialist skills and knowledge are outside the scope of the framework. The framework will determine the minimum standard for mental health education and training and help to measuring if education and training satisfies these standards. The core skills and knowledge are defined at 3 levels: Level 1: knowledge for roles that require general mental health awareness; Level 2: knowledge and skills for roles that will have some regular contact with people with mental health issues; and Level 3: knowledge and skills for those working with/caring for people with mental health needs. The framework includes expected learning outcomes, and will be aligned to relevant quality and regulatory standards. It will be applicable to health and care employers and also educational organisations which train students who will be employed in the health and car workforce. The framework is being developed in parallel with a similar framework for learning disabilities. (Edited publisher abstract)
