Staff portal: New staff induction pack

Welcome to The Mead Trust!

As part of your induction to your new role, there are a variety of documents that you are required to read. These are listed below – please take the time to read them all, and ask if you have any questions.

When you have read the documents, you must complete the Induction Pack Confirmation Form, on the right.

Please remember that in addition to the below, there are three mandatory courses that ALL members of staff must complete in order to work in our schools – no matter their role. They are all available through your National College account, and are:

  1. Certificate in Safeguarding in Schools
  2. Certificate in the Prevent Duty in Schools
  3. Certificate in Data Protection & GDPR in Schools

If you have any questions about your induction, or starting your new role, please contact Kyra in the Trust Central Team by emailing kyra@themeadtrust.org.
