Delivering, Quality Education and Training In line with Employer and Employee Needs in line with required Induction standards.
Our Adult Care Training Courses are intended for managers and carers of adults, children and elderly people in the following areas of Health and Social Care.
The common induction 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.
- Standard 1 – Role of the health and social care worker
- Standard 2 – Personal developments
- Standard 3 – Communicate effectively
- Standard 4 – Equality and Inclusion
- Standard 5 – Principles for implementing duty of care
- Standard 6 – Principles of safeguarding in health and social care
- Standard 7 – Person-centred support
- Standard 8 – Health and safety in an adult social care setting
Each standard contains a number of areas of knowledge that care workers need to know about before they can work unsupervised. Managers have a duty to ensure new staff will know enough to meet the required outcomes in each knowledge area.
If carried out in depth, they can provide excellent evidence of underpinning knowledge towards the diploma at level 2 or level 3
