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.
