Inductions

The transition into children’s residential care is unlike any other job. It’s high-stakes, high-emotion, and requires more than just a quick tour of the building and a signature on a policy.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on staff inductions. We move beyond the dry compliance checklists to discuss how a well-structured induction creates a culture of safety and belonging. We explore the essential ingredients of a successful start: from managing the "culture shock" of residential life to ensuring new starters feel emotionally equipped to support children with complex needs.
