NOS in Sensory Need/Impairment

The first ever National Occupational Standards (NOS) to support social care workers who deliver sensory services to millions of people are now complete. The NOS have been developed after intensive consultation with people and carers who use sensory services, employers, care workers and key stakeholders across the sector. The eleven standards in this suite will make sure there are consistent benchmarks for care workers delivering sensory loss provision and will help develop the skills and knowledge of workers supporting people and carers who access sensory services. During 2009, units for the Qualification and Credit Framework will be developed which reflect these standards and these units will support the development of suitable competence-based qualifications at a variety of levels.
