NHS education for Scotland (NES) and the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) have developed a framework for use by employers and staff during the induction of new or redeployed social care workers. This resource is designed to help with identifying resources, links to information and guidance which will support employers and workers, meet learning needs, compliment existing skills, and provide required mandatory learning. The induction framework brings together learning resources, Codes of Practice, and the Health and Social Care Standards. This resource will be refreshed and revised regularly by NES and the SSSC and is available here.
