The Content is NOT intended to be a substitute for professional medical/psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor a substitute for legal or any other type of professional advice. Always seek the advice of a skilled practitioner with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or legal issue. Never disregard professional advice because of something you have read in the NRCPT Toolkit.
RCAW does not recommend nor endorse any specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, legal advice, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned in the NRCPT Toolkit.

RCAW is not responsible for any additional slides, information, content, or materials that add state-specific respite care-related training requirements.
Not make any changes to, or use only certain NRCPT core curriculum courses, as it may render the training as no longer meeting the NRCPT Professional Core Competencies.
a. If you wish to make changes to NRCPT core curriculum courses or only utilize some of the courses, you must no longer claim nor represent that the training meets the NRCPT Professional Core Competencies and no longer use the NRCPT logo to promote training on any marketing materials, websites, social media, etc.
i. All modified NRCPT courses must acknowledge the excerpts or portions of the NRCPT training used in whole or in part by stating in writing within the course: “This information or training was adapted/modified from the National Respite Care Provider Training™ and may no longer meet the competency standards or fidelity of the original NRCPT.”
ii. Additionally, you can no longer provide a training certificate of completion titled with the National Respite Care Provider Training, NRCPT, nor utilize the nationally approved NRCPT logo in the training.
Use the provided certificate as a training certificate only. The NRCPT is NOT a certification, accreditation, or licensing program. The training certificate’s purpose is solely to indicate that an individual has completed the NRCPT. Because the training certificate is not a certification, accreditation, or license, the NRCPT cannot be promoted or marketed in any way that would imply that the training certificate is certifying, accrediting, or licensing anyone by RCAW, or any government or licensing agency.

You may share the request form to request a link to the NRCPT Toolkit with anyone who is interested in accessing it.
