This guide, designed for managers of care homes, stresses the crucial role of mangers in setting practice standards. It suggests ways of creating a team who feel valued and competent in responding to service users. It highlights how implementing person centred practice is more involved than organising the occasional training session for the care team. The guide is based on a 9 month action learning project, and explores which issues prevent training being translated into practice. It shows how the current culture can undermine changing practice, the role of the manager as a change agent and how the manager and the team can bring into effect changed practice.

Effective induction of staff is recognised as a vital component of providing safe care and of establishing a competent workforce. Education and training provision could be used as appropriate to provide learning support. There are also learning programmes, intended as an early or pre-employment introduction to social care that should contribute to induction but have a different role - acting as part of the bridge between school and employment. The induction standards are set out to provide a description of the minimum understanding required for social care work in care homes. The frontline workplace manager is responsible for adding areas of work particular to the worker’s role and for deciding the level of understanding required for that role. Standards are set out minimum understanding they readily link to the NVQ level 2 that is the minimum qualification used within the sector.
