The Care Standards Act (2002) requires that all managers of nursing and residential care homes and organisations that deliver home care demonstrate that newly appointed care workers have undergone a period of induction during their first six weeks of employment. This manual is designed to take the newly appointed care worker, and his or her manager, through the induction process using the current standards laid down by Skills for Care. Each stage of this process is documented by the care worker using the guidelines outlined in the text. The pack is designed so that the care worker can keep a record of the completed activities in their professional development portfolio, and use them as evidence towards and N/SVQ.
