National Occupational Standards for Health and Social Care

Review of Health and Social Care NOS

Feedback on draft revisions Oct – Nov 2011

 

Health and Social Care (HSC) NOS are the authoritative National Occupational Standards for people who work in health and social care settings with adults and/or children across the UK.   The review is the joint work of Skills for Health and Skills for Care & Development (a partnership of CCWales, CWDC, GSCC, NISCC, SfC and SSSC).

Revisions are being made to the NOS in the light of feedback from surveys and events held in May and June this year.  We now want to check that the revisions are on track by inviting feedback on a sample of the revised NOS.   Sample sets will be released for comment on:

• Set A   feedback completed by 11 November
• Set B   feedback completed by 25 November
• Set C  25 November – with feedback to be completed by 9 December

At the same times, separate ‘self-facilitated review packs’ will be available on request for any agencies, organisations or specialists who may wish to consider the draft NOS as a group.  To request a pack please contact: philip.underdown@skillsforcareanddevelopment.org.uk

Packs will be available for the sets of NOS listed above on the dates given.  If there are other specific NOS that a group wishes to comment on, the group should contact Phil at the email above, quoting the number and title of the NOS they wish to see.
