Effective Debriefing – Information sheet on issues to consider regarding debriefing. Includes a ten step guide to routine personal debriefing.
Induction, briefing and handover guidelines – This document is part of a People In Aid initiative whereby agencies share their knowledge and experience of a particular issue in order to increase the quality of people management generally within the sector. For those agencies which have no established policy we hope the document both prompts and assists you. For those agencies which already have a policy, perhaps the document will encourage a re-think in one or two areas, or a complete revision. The notes are not intended to give you an off-the-shelf policy which you can immediately use within your own organisation.They do, however, offer you the thinking and experiences of other agencies in our sector and prompt you to assess how your own organisation, with its unique mission, values and resources, can best respond to your organisational and staff needs in this important policy area.
