1. INTRODUCTION Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) is committed to employee development and recognises the importance of the induction process to support individuals in adapting quickly and effectively to their new roles and thereby making a contribution to the delivery of excellent patient care. The overall aim of the policy is to ensure that all new staff employed by the Trust are welcomed and receive consistent messages about the Trust’s mission, values, strategic objectives, policies and procedures. Local service induction aims to ensure that new starters are integrated into their team as smoothly as possible, ensuring an understanding of their job, local policies and procedures. Corporate induction takes place on a monthly basis and is fundamental in setting standards and influencing patterns of behaviour for the future. It is also an important way of helping new staff understand the services provided throughout the Trust and the relationships between different parts of the organisation, and with partner organisations, in delivering these services. It is mandatory for all new permanent staff to attend corporate induction within 8 weeks of their start date with the Trust. It is the responsibility of the line manager to ensure that all new staff, including temporary, locum, fixed term and voluntary staff receive a local service induction as soon as they start in post. This policy sets out the framework within which induction will be provided.

2. PURPOSE

This policy refers to both corporate and local service induction and sets a clear time frame and standards for both the corporate and local service induction. The purpose of this policy is to;

Provide information that supports and assures the appropriate and effective induction of all types of staff that work within the Trust

Identify the topics that are covered within corporate induction and the associated mandatory and statutory training provision processes in place to deliver appropriately trained staff to their workplaces as quickly as possible after their start date

Provide a standard template for the local service induction of staff that ensures that key local information is shared with new starters

5. PROCEDURE/IMPLEMENTATION

There are a number of key phases involved in the Trust’s induction process, each with important issues to address. See below;

5.1 Pre-Employment

It is important that, from the first moment a person contacts the Trust, they begin to form a positive impression and fee l we lcomed and va lued . Creating such an impression is a responsibility shared by a number of Trust staff, however once an appointment decision has been made, it is the line managers responsibility to book a place on corporate induction for the new member of staff as soon as possible and plan the local service induction, including information that both parties require before the start of the new job. A Local Induction Programme and checklist has been produced (Appendix C) to support the line managers with this process.

5.2 First Day in Post

If the new member of staff has a start date that coincides with the provision of corporate induction, the individual should attend corporate induction, and appropriate mandatory and statutory training on their first working day / week in the Trust. In these circumstances the local service induction should start on the individuals first day in the workplace. Where the new member of staff has a start date that does not coincide with the provision of corporate induction, the individual should be welcomed by their new line manager and the local service induction process should commence on this date. Attendance at corporate induction should be planned to take place as soon as possible after the individuals first day in post.

It is important to meet new colleagues and to have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the immediate environment. The local induction programme will be agreed in the new starters area of work and will depend upon the individuals job role

The line manager will take responsibility to ensure all aspects of the corporate and local service induction are achieved and the completed within 8 weeks of the employees start date. A copy of the local service induction programme must be filed in the individual’s personal file and made available for audit as required.

New starters registered with a professional body and who are new to the organisation or new to role will be enrolled onto the preceptorship programme

New starters in non-registered clinical roles who have not already completed the Care Certificate or equivalent qualification will be enrolled for this programme

Page 9: Corporate and Local Service Induction Policy€¦ · staff employed by the Trust are welcomed and receive consistent messages about the Trust’s mission, values, strategic objectives,

Page 9 of 22

The line manager must ensure staff understand the mandatory and statutory training requirements of their role and receive the required training relevant to this job role.

5.3 Corporate Induction Day

An outline of the Corporate Trust Induction Programme is provided in Appendix A. All new employees will attend on the first corporate induction day following employment unless exceptional circumstances with the exception of those categories of staff identified in section 2 of this policy. Where exceptional circumstances are present alternative arrangements must be agreed by the individuals Head of Service and The Head of Education In addition to the corporate induction day, new staff who have mandatory and statutory training needs in addition to the core requirements for all staff will be offered a programme of training in the 4 days following corporate induction. This programme includes the management of workplace violence, personal safety, immediate life support or community life support and back care induction for people handlers. The intention is to ensure after the first week of induction new starters are equipped with skills to ensure their own safety and that of our patient/ service users. The learning and development administration team will offer these options to the line manager dependant on job role and area of practice.

5.4 Induction Manual and Level 1 Training Leaflets

All staff attending corporate Induction will be provided with an induction manual which includes the level 1 training leaflets listed in Appendix B. Staff must be provided with time during their induction process to read these leaflets to ensure that they have the required knowledge to work safely in their new role.

5.5 Booking Process

All new substantive employees will be booked onto the Corporate Induction Day by the line manager contacting the Learning and Development Administration Team. For all other groups see under special arrangements. Attendance is mandatory. Line Managers will ensure the process for authorisation and support is implemented for staff to attend.

5.6 Monitoring Completion of Corporate Induction The Learning and Development Administration Team will monitor attendance and maintain records via the Electronic Staff Record / Oracle Learning Management System (ESR/OLM).

Page 10 of 22

5.7 Continuous Review The length of the local induction process will differ for each individual dependant on their role within the Trust. The process should be concluded within an 8 week period. A review of their mandatory and statutory training will be undertaken at their first formal performance and development review or appraisal six months following appointment.

8. EQUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT SCREENING

The completed Equality Impact Assessment for this Policy has been published on the Trust website.

8.1 Privacy, Dignity and Respect

The NHS Constitution states that all patients should feel that their privacy and dignity are respected while they are in hospital. High Quality Care for All (2008), Lord Darzi’s review of the NHS, identifies the need to organise care around the individual, ‘not just clinically but in terms of dignity and respect’. As a consequence the Trust is required to articulate its intent to deliver care with privacy and dignity that treats all service users with respect. Therefore, all procedural documents will be considered, if relevant, to reflect the requirement to treat everyone with privacy, dignity and respect, (when appropriate this should also include how same sex accommodation is provided).

No issues have been identified in relation to this policy.

8.2 Mental Capacity Act

Central to any aspect of care delivered to adults and young people aged 16 years or over will be the consideration of the individuals capacity to participate in the decision making process. Consequently, no intervention should be carried out without either the individuals informed consent, or the powers included in a legal framework, or by order of the Court Therefore, the Trust is required to make sure that all staff working with individuals who use our service are familiar with the provisions within the Mental Capacity Act. For this reason all procedural documents will be considered, if relevant to reflect the provisions of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 to ensure that the interests of an individual whose capacity is in question can continue to make as many decisions for themselves as possible.

Indicate How This Will Be Achieved.

All individuals involved in the implementation of this policy should do so in accordance with the Guiding Principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. (Section 1)
