Our staff & staff training policy
Wrixon Care Services encourages and will facilitate training and the personal
development of all staff. We are recognised as an Investor in People which
was
achieved in March 2004.
Due to the nature of work undertaken by staff it is necessary for all
members of the
team to undertake regular training in a variety of areas. All training offered
to staff will
be appropriate to the task undertaken for example confidentiality, PACE,
control of
aggression, the Children Act as well as all the main areas of training listed
below.

a
