Safe staffing and dependency planning

This self-assessment helps managers reflect on confidence in safe staffing and dependency planning. It is for UK adult social care, healthcare and early years settings. It helps identify confidence, learning needs and development areas. It does not confirm competence. It does not replace formal training, supervision, observation of practice, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If your average score is below 3, or you score 1 or 2 on any statement, review learning and discuss this in supervision or with your manager.
