Publications
BILD and Heinemann have agreed a joint venture to produce learning materials for the new Induction Award: Supporting people with learning disabilities.
If you are starting work within the learning disability sector and are working towards your Induction Award these are the study books you need. They can be used for personal study or as part of the programme of learning towards completing your induction training.
Each unit covers all the learning outcomes as well as a range of valuable
real life examples to help you put your work in context. You will see as you
work through the book that it puts the person with a learning disability at the
centre of the support you give. It will also help you to meet the Common
Induction Standards and work towards a S/NVQ in Health and Social Care.
Key features include:
• Examples taken from real situations
• Information from people with learning disabilities and family carers
• Reference to key legislation and policy
• Thinking points and activities for reflection and consolidation
