Preparing to Care by Predencia Gabbidon and Barry Goldson.
This induction programme, grounded in research, enables residential staff to develop the core knowledge, skills and values needed to provide a positive and caring residential environment. Staff progress can be monitored, evaluated and supported throughout their probationary period. It will also help ensure that the welfare of children and young people in residential settings is safeguarded and promoted through best practice.
