Reflective Account Unit 523

Staff induction is a process by which we welcome new staff into the nursery, supporting them and helping them to familiarise themselves with our routines, our ethos and our way of doing things.

Additional evidence must be attached to this document. (Photographs witness statements etc can be placed alongside the write up within the Text box or at the bottom of the write-up).

Evidence is deemed to be sufficient if it is understandable and presented in a clear manner, contains content deemed appropriate for the level of the award and meets all the learning criteria, regulations and requirements set out in the assessment plan.

You must provide answers to each question that allow your assessor to properly assess what work duties you are doing or what role you have within your work. It expected that you would need approximately 300 words per question. The more detail you provide the less likely your account will be sent back for more clarification.

Introduce the first main point of the argument. Then, provide evidence from the sources. Multiple pieces of evidence should be provided to support the main point.

As part of taking an active role in the recruitment process I also complete a one day training room based induction with all new starters. The induction day I devised myself and put a power point presentation together. On this day I cover codes of practice minimum standards professional boundries, Ethos of supported living, Policies and proceedures, Journal and incident writing and also information on The Regard Partnership. The regional director for Wales sat in on my first induction and gave positive feedback on the induction. Also after the induction all staff fill out evaluation forms, All of which have been extremely positive.

The following questions can be written answers for your Certificate. Please complete the questions which your assessor has asked you to complete.

Essential learning for specific tasks, the induction provide you with the basic information and skills necessary for work

Length:  By the time you answer each question, you should have 5 solid paragraphs, or about 2 and 2 ½ -3 pages double spaced.  If you are looking for a word count, I would like 600+ words.

All learners attend a course induction where an individual learning plan is discussed and agreed, this is essential for both the learner and tutor as it allows the learner to take control of their own learning, review their progress and set goals for their training. This has the benefit of empowering them through ownership and helps to keep them motivated throughout the course. The ILP also aids the tutor, allowing them to monitor the intended learning outcomes, customise and design resources, identify distance travelled and set targets for work.

“A Personalised Induction will always be more effective”. Discuss. Base your answer on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class.
