Safe learning environment charter – placement induction

Learners receive a placement induction that supports their learning and adequately prepares them for their roles. Placement induction processes are well established and evidenced to support learners.

Together, education and placement providers should:

Offer pre-placement engagement sessions to welcome new learners and help them settle any anxieties or worries before a placement.

Provide learners with appropriate signposting to support services.

This may include financial support and health and well-being services.

Placement providers should:

Provide resources for learners to familiarise themselves with the placement area.

Provide an induction that is inclusive of the needs of all learners and fosters a sense of belonging. Accommodate the needs of learners with disabilities.

Placement providers should:

Encourage all learners to provide formal feedback on their induction and act upon it to improve for future learners.

Ensure that the senior leadership team are visible and accessible to learners from the start of their placement to welcome them to the organisation.

Encourage learners to take advantage of the support and networking opportunities available.

Learners should:

Attend the induction opportunities made available by both placement and education providers. Actively participate in any initiatives offered by education and placement providers to improve the induction process for future learners.
