What do I need to work in care? |
| All workers in social care have to work to the Care Standards Act 2000.
When you begin work, you will complete the Skills for Care Common Induction standards within 12 weeks. If you work in a Learning Disability service this is linked to the National LDAF qualifications. Induction will give you knowlege about the sort of people who you will work with, your role and responsibilities, the policies and procedures of your workplace along with health and safety for safe working practices. You will then be able to apply this knowledge and gain skills so that you can achieve an NVQ 2 in care. If you move to a different employer or to a different role, you will recieve additional induction training relating to your new role and responsibilities. |
