Have you updated your Common Induction Standards? PDF Print E-mail

Skills for Care has refreshed the Common Induction Standards to ensure they are fit for purpose and reflect current policy and practice. The standards are for people entering social care, and those changing roles or employers within social care.

 

The standards now map across to the mandatory units of the new Health and Social Care Diploma to ensure there is consistency of approach for the workforce. There are now eight standards, however they will not take any longer to complete and the core elements are still retained.

 

For more information and resources on the new standards please click here or visit www.skillsforcare.org.uk/cis
