The All Wales Induction Framework for Early Years and Childcare supports new workers during the induction stage of their employment. It covers the principles and values, knowledge and skills that workers need to carry out their role. The framework offers settings a robust structure for induction and ensures that new workers are clear about the knowledge and skills that they need to be able to evidence in their first six months of employment. It also creates a firm foundation for new workers to develop their practice and future careers, in and across the early years and childcare sector.
