It covers how we recruit, support and develop colleagues throughout their time at Magenta Living, helping to make sure they have the right knowledge and skills for their role. 

Your feedback will help us make sure the policy is clear, easy to understand and supports the delivery of good-quality services for our customers.

Draft Competence and Development Policy 

Why We're Asking for Your Feedback 

Having colleagues with the right skills, knowledge and experience is important in making sure we provide the best possible service to our customers. 

Our Competence and Development Policy sets out how we support colleagues to develop and maintain these throughout their time at Magenta Living. 

We want to make sure the policy: 

  • Is clear and easy to understand 

  • Explains how we support colleagues to develop their skills and knowledge 

  • Sets clear expectations for colleagues 

  • Supports colleagues to provide good-quality services 

  • Reflects the needs of our customers and communities 

By taking part in the consultation, you'll help us identify anything that is unclear, missing or could be improved.
