Abstract

An Ordinary Life explores what is meant by training, and discusses the importance of education in values and the formation of beliefs and ideas. The role of parents as part of the care team is examined, as is the need for a clear definition of tasks ranging from policies to job descriptions. The topics of selection, recruitment and promotion of staff are also covered, with the final chapters dealing with the training of both direct care and support staff.
