Manager Induction Standards
The Skills for Care adult social care Manager Induction Standards (MIS) were launched in 2008 and have been widely used in a great variety of ways. However, times are changing rapidly in social care and it is important that these standards remain fit for purpose. The launch of the new Qualifications and Credit Framework has been just one development in recent years in learning and development in social care.
In addition we are seeing a significant change in the way social care services are provided with far greater emphasis on direct payments and person-centred support, or relationship-centred care.
