There are 2 workshops covering different aspects of Values Based Approaches to Recruitment and Retention and these are aimed at managers and others responsible for recruiting. You can choose to attend both workshops, or just 1. For Values based interviewing we suggest that it is best practice that at least 2 colleagues are trained in each organisation. So if you do not have colleagues who are already trained then you may decide to submit 2 applications for 2 staff. The workshops will cover the following. The approaches in values based interviewing can be used for all recruitment including overseas recruitment.

Exclusive Skills for Care registered manager members webinar | Overview of audits for different service types

Thursday 22 February 2024 | 14:00 – 15:00 | Zoom

In partnership with Quality Compliance Systems (QCS), join us at our first-ever joint webinar, exclusively available for registered manager members.

We will provide an overview of audits for different service types, how audits are used most effectively, and the range of support and practical advice available for social care providers from Skills for Care and QCS. You’ll also learn how effective auditing helps you demonstrate high-quality, safe, and person-centred care, good governance, and continuous improvement.

With the roll-out of the CQC’s new Single Assessment Framework, audits will become more important for social care providers in demonstrating how they keep people who draw on care and support safe, develop a cycle of continuous improvement, and have good governance in place in their service.

This is an exclusive webinar for registered manager members only.
