Safeguarding is a responsibility for all of us. This course will raise awareness of key issues and support you in thinking about the way you recognise and react to circumstances in which someone might be at risk of abuse.

Welcome to the NHS Continuing Healthcare e-learning module.

The purpose of this tool is to help you to achieve a successful outcome from your NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Assessment.

There is no secret to passing your CHC assessment, it all comes down to adequate preparation.

The people who carry out the assessment will use evidence about your needs to decide their recommendation about funding.​ Not only will this module guide you through the process, it also explains what evidence you need to gather that supports your case, giving you the best chance of a positive outcome.

There are seven chapters in total, made up of a combination of presentation slides, videos and animations. Although it should take a total of around two hours to complete this module, we recommend that you take the course one chapter at a time, only moving forward at your own pace.

We hope that you find it useful.
