NOS in Children's Care, Learning and Development

NISCC has worked with partners across the UK to develop the National Occupational Standards (NOS) in Children’s Care, Learning and Development. These NOS were developed following a UK-wide review of the NOS in Early Years Care and Education in 2003/04. They have been designed to provide a basis for work with children aged 0-16, in many settings and services. 

NISCC is currently consulting in NI on a review of the NOS for Children's Care, Learning and Development.  You can submit your comments via our online survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HZXTLMT This survey closes at midnight on 24 June 2011. Your input will be taken into account when revisions are made and revised NOS will be available for your consideration during the summer. If you have any additional queries or comments about this review, contact Gerry Cunningham, NISCC Sector Skills Manager.
