From September 2006 all staff induction training offered in social care for adults in England should be structured to meet the Common Induction Standards (CIS).
These standards are designed for use not only with new workers but also workers who are changing role or level of responsibility.
The Common Induction Standards set out the core knowledge and competences all new workers must have.
There are six Common Induction Standards:
- Understand the principles of care
- Understand the organisation and the role of the worker
- Maintain safety at work
- Communicate effectively
- Recognise and respond to abuse and neglect
- Develop as a worker
