This is a training package that will suit anyone starting out in his or her work in Health and Social Care. Skills for Care, the Sector Skills Council for social care, state that all new workers should complete the Refreshed Common Induction Standards. The eight standards cover all of the basics that any worker in the sector should know about when starting work. These eight standards should be completed within the first 12 weeks of working in the sector.

It does not matter which sector of Health and Social care that you work in, you must complete the Refreshed Common Induction Standards.

This training is available as an open or distance learning pack. This is a pack that the learner can work through at their own pace.

They can work through their pack alone or alongside other colleagues completing their Induction. As they work through the pack they will learn about each of the standards and the things that they should know and understand about in their workplace. They may need to speak to their line manager or supervisor about their employer’s ‘ways of working’ or to ask a question or to check their understanding.

All of the information that they need about the eight standards is included in the pack.

When they have finished the pack, their line manager can then ask the questions at the back of the pack so that he or she can assess if the learner has covered all of the standards. When he or she is happy that the standards are fully understood they can issue the Refreshed Common Induction Standards Certificate included in the pack.
