Working in Care (Common Induction Standards 2005)

By law, all new staff working in the social care sector must complete induction training within the first six weeks of your employment - this course provides you with a comprehensive training framework to ensure you meet the induction standards laid down by the Training Organisation for the Personal Social Services England (TOPSS England).

The course explores the values that lie at the heart of all care work and the realities of working in care. You will gain an understanding of your specific role and responsibilities, and why it is essential that you apply the policies and procedures of your organisation.

You are also shown how to apply safe working practices to promote a safe, healthy environment for themselves and those you care for. Wherever possible the course will provide all the training you need to meet the induction standards. However, some information you need to know will be specific to your organisation and in this case you will be given an activity to complete which will help you find that information.

Once you have completed Working in Care - Induction Standards (and any extra training that the course recommends) you can be confident that you will meet a number of the assessment criteria for TOPSS England.
