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 28th October – with feedback to be completed by 11th November
• Set B 11th November – with feedback to be completed by 25th November
• Set C 25th November – with feedback to be completed by 9th December
