Bringing people together
The game is an effective face-to-face learning and competency assessment tool for all health and social care providers. It helps to deliver the knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competency and to manage the Care Certificate assessment process.
The game was developed with leading practitioners, academics and trainers from health and social care. The game is directly mapped to key learning components of the Care Certificate.
The game contains 106 scenarios and questions specially designed to create discussions that test and deliver the knowledge required to achieve success in the Care Certificate.
Meeting the requirements of the Care Certificate is a challenge for all employers of health and social care support workers. The game makes this process more effective while minimising the drain on time, resources and money.
The game:
The game is designed to encourage creative discussions needed to answer a series of questions directly related to Care Certificate standards. The game makes learning more engaging and creative than a traditional workshop or meeting.
The board game covers the 8 Care Certificate standards that are best suited to group discussions and training workshops. Each standard has a pack of scenario cards that deliver essential facts and concepts:
- Duty of Care (14 questions)
- Equality & Diversity (10 questions)
- Work in a Person Centred Way (12 questions)
- Communication (10 questions)
- Privacy and Dignity (12 questions)
- Fluids & Nutrition (18 questions)
- Awareness of Mental Health, Dementia & Learning Disabilities (14 questions)
- Infection Prevention & Control (16 questions)
Gameplay:
The game is competitive. Up to twelve players are divided into two teams and they compete to answer questions correctly and win coloured tokens. The game will also work in 1-to-1 sessions.
The game can be used as a standalone tool or as part of a workshop programme. It is designed to be flexible and practical and assessors can choose the number of players, length of time the game will be played for and which questions should be answered.
The central area of the board is a simple competency assessment chart that allows everyone to see where their strengths and weaknesses are offering a guide to where attention needs to be focused.
