Guidance for new social care staff updated by Care Council

An updated induction framework setting out the standards expected of social care workers in their first 12 weeks of employment has been launched by the Care Council.

The Induction Framework for Wales, originally published in 2008, has been developed for workers new to the social care profession or experienced staff starting in a new role. It outlines what a worker has to know and do in their first three months.

The framework covers the knowledge social care workers need to gain during their induction period, and specific knowledge, such as policies and procedures or how to use communication techniques in a particular workplace.
