Training
All care agencies will ensure that you
receive appropriate induction before you undertake your first call.
This will ensure you have the skills and knowledge of safe and good
practice. At a very early stage you will be encouraged and
supported to undertake the new Qualifications and Credit
Framework (QCF) qualifications to the appropriate
level in social care. In addition you will receive in-house
training to help you care for people with particular problems, such
as dementia or Parkinson's, as well as to develop and improve your
practice in areas such as infection control and communication with
people who, for instance, have hearing problems.
