The Ministry of Manpower requires all first-time foreign domestic workers (FDWs) to attend the Settling-In Programme (SIP), conducted in English or in the FDW's native languages. The SIP aims to better orientate and equip FDWs with basic knowledge about living and working safely in Singapore.
SIP will be delivered through a combination of lecturers, videos and practical sessions and will cover the following five modules:
(i) Introduction to Singapore
(ii) Conditions of employment
(iii) Safety at home
(iv) Safety in other areas
(v) Relationship and stress management
