About Course
Being open and honest when things go wrong is central to safe care. This course explains the statutory duty of candour for health and social care providers in England, what counts as a notifiable safety incident, what providers must do and when, the professional duty on individuals, and how the rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This course gives general awareness of the duty of candour. It is not legal advice. Always follow your organisation’s incident, duty of candour and whistleblowing policies and current regulator guidance.
