Induction training
The Merton Children's Trust hosts Children's Workforce Induction Training to ensure that all new staff in the children's workforce understand Merton's integrated working practices. These half day sessions are for staff who are new to a role in a statutory, community, voluntary, private or independent organisation in Merton working with children, young people and families. Places on the course must be booked in advance.

What you will gain from the session
Through presentations from senior figures in Merton's children's services, workshop and networking sessions, and a comprehensive resource desk, delegates will come away equipped with an understanding of:
- The 'bigger picture' - How your role fits into the priorities and aspirations of the Children's Trust and delivery of its Children and Young People's Plan; as a thematic strand of the Merton Partnership's Community Plan, and it's relationship to other key partnership groups such as the Merton Safeguarding Children's Partnership and the Health and Well-Being Board.
- Key facts about Merton and our children, young people and families - demographics, outcomes data, and key areas of success.
- The integrated working practices and processes which support effective 'Early Help' and safeguarding - the Merton Well-Being Model (MWBM), and the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH), and information sharing.
- User voice - the importance of children and young people's participation and engagement in practice, and in service design and delivery.
- How to access further resources - continuing professional development, information and resources which will be essential to your role.
It is a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with the above information as preparation for the induction session.
