Student Education Induction Pack
Education induction document
Page 1 of 17
This induction pack is to help you as a learner to familiarise yourself with the team. It provides you with the basics about the team
and should help you to plan to meet your learning needs.
We recommend that all learners contact the team in good time prior to placement to identify who will be supervising your learning
and confirm start times/hours.
During your placement you should have a minimum of a preliminary, midpoint and final meeting with whoever is supervising your
learning. You should also undertake some form of leaning analysis then produce a learning contract and or action plan that provide
structure and direction to the time you are with us. Your supervisor will be able to help draw this together but you must take a lead
in negotiating your plan. Some examples of these tools are provided but you may wish to use those produced by your education
provider.
Please ensure that you present any documents regarding your placement with our staff on the first day of your placement. This
should include any assessment document, learning outcomes you hope to achieve and any type of on-going record of
achievement.
On completion of your placement you will be asked to provide an evaluation. Please take time to complete this openly and honestly
as it is only with your feedback can we improved the quality of these valuable learning experiences.
We hope you find the time on your placement enjoyable and productive.

Provide a needs led- anti-oppressive service that empowers its users.
Improve, maintain and prevent deterioration of mental health of service users in the locality.
Offer a multi-disciplinary approach that utilises appropriate therapeutic interventions in the
community. These will be in keeping with the wishes and needs of the individual; this will be
achieved through information exchange, joint working, assessment and evaluation.
We believe in a non-discriminatory service that values each individual.
We have a responsibility to prioritise within our resources.
To function as an effective team we need to respect the validity of each other’s opinions and
provide the opportunity for them to be voiced.
We aim to improve the quality of life for service users through anti-discriminatory practice and
empowerment.
We accept that people have different value bases and beliefs and try to accommodate and work alongside
each other.
We aim to offer support to service users over 18 with mental health problems which is adversely affecting
their life and or the lives of others.
