Workers
As a worker who is new to a social care role you bring valuable
experience, values, knowledge and skills with you.
This resource provides links to information to help you, together
with your line manager or supervisor, to identify your induction
learning needs and access relevant guidance and learning resources
to complement your existing skills and the mandatory learning
required by organisation.
We will add more content over the next few months, so please come
back to find what else we have for you.
The learning content is also relevant for personal assistants (PA).
PAs should discuss and make decisions around what learning content
is relevant with your employer.
Steps for using the National Induction Framework
It's important to decide if you are using the National
Induction Framework to support your induction or just
for CPL purposes. Discuss this with your manager and
then move onto step 2.
We have developed a
Learning Assessment Tool which will
help your manager show you what parts of the NIF you
should complete. Once your manager has identified the
content on this platform that you should complete,
move onto step 2. You can view the learning assessment
tool below, but this should be completed by your
manager or supervisor. A link to it can be found
below:
The content on this site is setup under two categories:
- Foundations of Practice (core or mandatory training you need for your role)
- Areas of Practice (optional learning to support your induction or ongoing CPL)
If you are using the NIF as part of your induction,
please ensure you work through the
Foundations of Practice, then move
onto any Areas of Practice that
supports your specific line of work.
If there is any content you would like to see that is
currently not on the National Induction Framework,
please ask your manager to direct you to the
appropriate resources. If you, or your employer would
like to see any resources added to the National
InductioN Framework, please suggest this in the
feedback.
As you work through the content, it is important to record your learning so they can support your induction and your CPL. You can record your evidence however you wish. We recommend using the MyLearning application to support your ongoing CPL but your manager can recommend other ways to record your learning if you prefer.
Once you have completed any modules that were identified on the NIF, and any additional mateiral from your employers, record your learning. Please also consider the NIF Open Badges that are available, as these can be shared with future employers.
