1.2 Explain expectations about own work role as expressed in relevant standards
Your job may have come with a job description, but while that tells you what you need to do, it does not usually tell you how you need to do it. To find that out, you need to look at the Standards that apply to your work.
Standards, as with Codes of Practice, will vary depending on the UK country in which you work. Each UK country has National Minimum Standards that are used by inspectors to ensure that services are being
delivered at an acceptable level (see page XXX).
Finally, and most importantly in terms of how you carry out your work, there are the National Occupational Standards (NOS). These apply across the whole of the UK, and explain what you need to know and be able to do in order to work effectively in social care.
The National Occupational Standards form the basis for all the qualifications in the social care sector, and are divided into units of competence. Some of these are mandatory, and everyone should be able to demonstrate competence in these areas. Other units are optional and you should be able to demonstrate competence in those units relevant to your job role.
Competence
In performing your job role, competence means that you have been able to provide evidence that you can demonstrate the skills and the underpinning knowledge contained in the National Occupational Standards. It is important to understand that competence is not only about doing the job; it is also about understanding why you do what you do and the theoretical basis that underpins the work.
Key Terms
National Minimum Standards – these are used by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to inspect the quality of care in services.
National Occupational Standards – UK standards of performance that people are expected to achieve in their work, and the knowledge and skills they need to perform effectively.
Competence – demonstrating the skills and knowledge required by the National Occupational Standards.

If you have contact with your tutor can you ask if they have any literature/handouts or teaching for this criteria?
