Confident Competence: The Role of Competency in Care

Competency in Health and Social Care is having the knowledge, skills, behaviours, and values to deliver safe, effective, person-centred care.
With the Care Quality Commission (CQC) introducing the Single Assessment Framework, care providers are now expected to evidence that staff are correctly trained and that they are also competent in their roles.
Failing to evidence staff competence can affect:
- Inspection outcomes
- Compliance ratings
- The quality of care delivered
For providers, this makes competency a key priority.
Our latest innovation: Confident Competence
At Care Business Associate Training, we are committed to raising standards in workforce development. To support providers further, we have launched our latest innovation — Confident Competence, a digital competency platform created for the Health and Social Care Sector.
This solution is part of our mission to help care organisations stay compliant, meet CQC requirements, and build confident, resilient teams.
