The Children's Workforce Network has developed a series of nine case studies that show examples of emerging good practice in induction.

The Children's Workforce Network recognises the importance of good induction programmes to ensure that those working with children, young people and their families have the right skills and knowledge to improve outcomes for children and young people.

These case studies have been provided from a range of organisations and local authorities from across the network. Several highlight good induction practice across the range of services and the opportunities for integrated induction programmes. The case studies also identify the way in which different induction models are mapped to the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge. They are useful for any organisation who is looking to develop or review their existing induction programmes and for staff who want to know what they can expect from good induction.

The policy group is keen to share experience of developing approaches to the induction and early training of the workforce, to achieve greater coherence across sectors and provide a basis for greater mobility.
