Staff Onboarding

The awareness packages linked below are intended as a 'starting point' for staff onboarding into new and unfamiliar roles within social care.   

The catalogue of suggested onboarding resources are based on organisational and statutory recommendations.  All users should check with their respective line managers and organisations to ensure that they have covered all their essential training requirements. 

It is anticipated that staff may require additional study, reading, development, supervision and competency checks in line with their own organisation's policies and procedures.

Onboarding is a critical element of preparing for a new role.   To create a record that you have completed and understood the various online resources, you are advised to complete a Reflective Practice Form for each online course you undertake. 

 

This form will help to reinforce the main learning points whilst also identifying any further learning requirements you may have.  It is recommended that you discuss the completed form with your Line Manager and have them counter-sign it.  This form should then be retained by yourself and can be used as evidence for a course completion record, professional registration and SVQ evidence.
