National Occupational Standards reviews
30 July 2010
This year we are reviewing the Work with Parents National Occupational Standards (NOS) and the Information and Library Services, Archive Services and Records Management NOS.
We will be working with experts from the sector in each nation to review the Work with Parents NOS this year. This review leads on from recent work to develop a functional map. The intention is to gain approval of the revised NOS by November this year.
The Information and Library Services, Archive Services and Records Management standards are wide ranging and cover operational roles and higher level practitioner and managerial roles. The review this year will bring all these roles together to produce a single suite of national occupational standards for libraries, archives and information services. We are currently at the planning stage for this work and will be ensuring that all key stakeholders across the UK can be involved in this important development.
We would like to know how you have been using the current NOS, where you feel that there might be gaps or where changes need to be made. Please contact Kim Harman, Standards Advisor, at kimharman@lluk.org to provide your feedback and find out how you can be involved in consultation.
